Let’s face Linux users like myself understand that some of the best products don’t come from the big studios their made with usability in mind, and in this case playability. I love indie, and I love Linux.

[...] Linux gaming? Posted by Fred in Linux, tags: business, China web sucks!, Firefox, Gaming, money, opportunities As an occasional reader of The Linux Game Tome I just stumbled upon a very interesting article about Linux and indie games: Indie game developer Koonsolo just revealed some surprising sales statistics on the Linux version of their game. 7 months ago they released their game ‘Mystic Mine‘, and in that time the Linux version sold more copies than the version for Windows. Yet they get plenty more website visits from Windows users. Koen Witters, the founder of the company, explains: ‘For every 232 Linux visitors we get on our website, one of them buys our game.
