    Alternatively, there was a company that dropped Linux support because Linux users were only ~1% of the playerbase yet they made up ~40% of bug reports. I think that article was posted on Lemmy last week?

    It’s interesting how the same trend can cause totally different reactions.

      This developer made the smart connection that even though the reports are coming from Linux users, almost 100% of them affected all users. So in a way, Linux support paid for itself not from Linux buyers, but from the free QA.

    It’s important to make a note of this passage:

    Koderski also says that very few of those bugs were specific to Linux, being clear that “This 5.8% of players found 38% of all the bugs that affected everyone.”

    In other words, more than a third of bugs that affected every platform the game was released on were reported by Linux users. That’s nothing to scoff at.
