Comon +1 guys

btw PredrKs , i have a history as a philanthropy in gaming , i have made my great deals of support and donations over the years since 1999 , im not here to brag or show off because thats not my personality to do so.

This wish option is a good idea for the devs to keep on the market scores for linux if ported , and yes we linux users are unlike windows users when it comes to early access, because with windows users they will be soo touchy when it comes to problems in early access , but for us we can tolerate and help fix . =)

thats true sadly , thats what money does to people , always taking cost low even if it will be upsetting half of the new comers stomach in a known local restaurant :d .

; ur right about the votes :D
ill be taking care of every family members account to make sure i get through with atleast 5 to 10 votes =)) got all my devices on dual boots

after clicking wishes game to be ported for Linux / SteamOS

have an option later beside it showing > if u like to donate for the cause = $ 0.00

+10

Where can i check about that if this is counted as a linux sale ? half of my steam purchases was through my linux client and their are some games i gifted in 4packs and rocketleague is in my inventory for more then a month now, i havent played it yet because they promised soon they will release the linux port .

i guess the more simple way is a wish option and donating for the cause like warning | kgb mentioned.

Their should be an algorithm that can determine better score percentages for a specific game.

Collecting overrall linux purchases around steam scores in total.

using these scores to push the votes for the option ( Wishes Game to be Ported for SteamOS/Linux)
-
The total percentage of purchases through the linux platform in total ( divide by / the wishes to be ported users scores that is = determined by the game overrall purchases in windows / divide
*over / the windows users overrall percentage in total for the specific game.

Results in percentage will be a probability ratio of a buy if this game is released for Linux

The dev can be more motivated this way =)

sry if i didnt make any sense i wanted to write it down with formula lettering and numbers but this will be more confusing for others who have bad maths

It depends, and they might be interested if there's relatively big demand or a low one...

my meaning of this algorithm is a prediction rate for a specific game which can motivate the developers more towards porting , i can see ur telling me that linux users in steam is around 1 to 2 % ? im running windows now but im a linux user dual boot myself since 2007 feisty fawn.

i believe we are atleast 3 to 8% , one example my cousins who still study in the university run a gnome environment whenever they have some assignments to work on and researching websites and flooding their workspaces. however they dual boot windows whenever its time to game and they wish they didnt have to restart for a break.

Surely not all games will be ported but im seeing great progress=)

memories thats like a buryl for diamonds around the world , on every 1000 things i learned in linux it still didnt replace 5% of my primaries, and those those 1000 things i learned are useful for a day, week or a month at most and some lasts a year.

world is changing , all the knowledge i help people on about and when memory starts to fade on me and i ask them back it doesnt come back the same way you helped them out.

My worse encounters are from new people who writes down *tutorials* rephrasing the original tutorial with a complextion of an "ab-nerd langauge" that is very hard for me to follow and surprisingly it makes sense for the people around him and when they try to explain it in most cases after a help request from a senior they diss him up with a slam dunk and wasting time.

i always have the decency to rephrase the ab-nerd language of information that i tend to pass by so people with zero computer knowledge can follow , ive had feedback whenever im linking them with an op post in xda , 95% from the people i meet around work / coffee shops and all around will stop or turn away from those red scary letters and hard to follow explanations and warnings that they dont get what most keyterms mean as well.

i like breaking the barial of tough space-shuttle langauge to writing those steps with simplicity that can motivate people with a push to the space of knowledge. Thats how the past was when information was so intimidating for us to learn :) .

like the joker says when u have something u dont know what to do about it ,u just do things, and peoples character just do.

SteamOS devs : please add in the Store page an option where we can vote for ( Wishes Game to be Ported for SteamOS/Linux)

Thank you all for sharing the world of linux with love , lets not lose hope for this request , this can be implemented if steam-devs take a look and think this through with such algorithm that can have a motivated impact to a game developer.

Please do this!

I was searching for a forum already suggesting this idea cause I just knew I wasn't the first to think it would be great to signal this to devs :)

Well, let me give linux steam *users* a suggestion while VALVE doesn't implement this.

I've just figured out I could label games on the store, not just the ones on the library... So I started tagging games I would buy if they were ported to linux with a custom tag: "Waiting for Linux version".

If done by enough people always with the same spelling, it just might start showing up on the Stem Store as a frequent tag, and that in itself would be a great sign for devs and for VALVE.

Also, its something that depends on us exclusively, so we can start doing it whenever we like.

Just remember it only works if everyone writes it identically so we need to define a standard tag... do you like "Waiting for Linux version" or does anyone have a better one (or knows one already in use)?

@Crac,

Thanks for the link!

I found "no Tux, no Bux" a little too aggressive, though...

I for one believe our tone matters at least a little when devs are reviewing their options about having a game ported to linux.

Have you seen the Civ VI linux port cookies bribe story?
