> I'm going to wait for Linux version to buy...that way will incentivize devs to make Linux versions.
I'm not sure that's going to incentivize anyone, especially if they're making plenty of money on the platforms they chose to release on.
Spending your money on existing Linux games in the same genre (and encouraging your Linux friends to as well) is more likely to incentivize devs. At least they can see that a Linux port sells, and they can find sales stats to assess whether the market for a particular genre is large enough to be worth the investment.
Spending money on existing Linux games in the same genre will incentivize devs. By waiting for them to release Linux port, I will then be spending money on the then-existing Linux game. Therefore what I said initially is valid.
Your initial point is not valid. All you said was that you're going to wait -- there was no mention of spending on games in the same genre.
Inaction (i.e. waiting only) is not easily measured by game developers without spending money or doing additional work on market research or surveys. Waiting by itself incentivizes nothing.
