Fascinating both for what it says about dev & what it says about statistics:

A gamedev realized Linux users were just 5.8% of their sales, but represented 38% of bug reports.

Then they looked at those numbers closer, and realized. Linux users were not experiencing more bugs. Almost none of the Linux-user bugs were Linux-related. Linux users were simply *more likely to file bugs*.

Their conclusion: A linux port pays for itself bc it nerdsnipes ppl into giving u free QA

@mcc I guess when you've filed 26 bugs against device drivers just last week, filing 3 bugs against a game is how you kick back and unwind.

@TomF @mcc the real relaxation is finding existing bug reports with patches stuck in limbo that fix your issue. I'm sure those missing Xbox controller Bluetooth device IDs will get merged in any year now /s
