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
@raptor85@mastodon.gamedev.place@mcc guilty, lol, definitely submitted my share, generally with a patch and debug info. Also i found long ago when reporting bugs in games to often lie about os (gen by omission) as most devs wouldnt take it seriously otherwise, even with it being a known complained about issue with actual windows users and absolute proof. Windows players in general are so used to bugs with no path to get them fixed they complain, but never report!
