At tuxgames, don't they only sell Linux-based games?

They only sell linux-based games, but thats not quite the same as games that will only run on linux. Any game that can run on linux is in their scope. I greatly appreciate them limiting the view the way the do.

By the way, got my second copy today also. Thanks Shrapnel.

I don't understand one point: when I am in my shopping basket, I see "These games are only for use with the Linux operating system."

Does it mean they provide only the Linux installer???

I doubt their warning message changes with the games you choose.

It's fair warning, since some of the stuff they sell is Linux-only versions of games that already appear on other platforms. There's the slight risk of a user who's looking for a such a game not realizing that he's getting one for the wrong OS. With this one, it's not applicable, because the official distribution is multiplatform.
