The developer of RPG 'Underworld Ascendant' finally clarifies their plans for the Linux version
The developers behind Underworld Ascendant [Official Site, Steam] gave a lot of weird mixed messages about their RPG being on Linux, thankfully they've now cleared it up properly.
I've been following it for a while, not particularly impressed by what they were saying. The game was funded on Kickstarter, where Linux support was added into their base funding goal during the campaign. They were successfully funded, with well over $860K. However, since then they repeatedly said (and rather clearly) that the Linux version would be available to backers, but they hadn't worked out a plan to sell them outside of that. They repeated this, making it quite confusing.

The Steam Hardware Survey had some flaw causing cyber cafes to be over-counting users
It's good to see Valve be open about this and get it fixed, as many people suspected issues for a while now and it's interesting to see some validation of certain theories about cyber cafe use. The funny thing is, someone mentioned this to me on reddit today and I didn't actually think it would have been such a big issue, so it's fun to be wrong.
