Lars writes: "I'm an independent game developer lucky enough to be on Steam. Recently, the Steam Linux client officially went public and was accompanied by a site-wide sale. The Linux sale featured every single Linux-compatible game on the service, including our cross-platform game Defender's Quest. .... Bottom line: during the sale we saw nearly 3 times as many Linux sales of the game as Mac (Windows still dominated overall)." http://a.fsdn.com/sd/twitter_icon_large.png (http://twitter.com/home?status=Steam+For+Linux%3A+A+Respectable+Showi ng%3A+http%3A%2F%2Fbit.ly%2FWmWjWx) http://a.fsdn.com/sd/facebook_icon_large.png (http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Flinux.slashdot.org%2Fsto ry%2F13%2F03%2F02%2F0840225%2Fsteam-for-linux-a-respectable-showing%3Futm_source%3Dslashdot%26utm_medium%3Dfac ebook) http://www.gstatic.com/images/icons/gplus-16.png (http://plus.google.com/share?url=http://linux.slashdot.org/story/13/03/02/0840225/steam-for-linux-a-respectable-showing?utm_source=slashdot&utm_medium=googleplus)
