Yes, I saw that too on reddit. I even posted a Pin on Pintrest about it. I'm eventually going to purchase this game, but have too many games on my To Play list
Still, I have a feeling Valve keeps statistics on Linux downloads. How else would they know if someone switched from Windows to Linux?
I bought this during the SteamOS sale on Steam some time ago when it was announced that it would be available on Linux. I'll definitely be downloading it later today. And I do hope the sale during the SteamOS sale registered as Linux sales, especially since I have not downloaded this game previously. I am really looking forward to playing this game. But I'll be travelling away on Tuesday and will be gone for 10 days so I will unfortunately not get to play it much before my trip.
I have been playing this game for some hours now, it seems to run without any issues and I have very good performance too. The game itself is pretty awesome too!
