Following a tweet (https://twitter.com/SimoRoth/statuses/420515523080638465) from the developer of Maia (http://maiagame.com/) (a cross platform game soon to hit Steam) that Linux was bringing him more game sales than OS X. Gaming On Linux decided to investigate further by reaching out to multiple developers for platform sales statistics (http://www.gamingonlinux.com/articles/linux-game-sales-statistics-from-multiple-developers.2963). Although the findings and developer comments show Linux sales to still be sitting in third place, behind those of OS X and Windows, they are showing promise. Developer feedback certainly appears to be positive about the platform's future. With Steam OS (http://store.steampowered.com/livingroom/SteamOS/) on its way, surely leading to more big title releases making their way to the Linux platform, could Linux gaming be set to take the number two spot from Apple?
