<div dir="ltr">Do developers set priorities based on what's on the voting list anyway? I mean, does any developer ever really say 'Wow, Bioshock has<br>42 votes, maybe I should work on that tomorrow'? That's almost certainly not the case.<br>
<br>For the longest time as a user I had the impression that wine developers spend half of their time writing hacks to make this week's new game<br>work. Probably inaccurate, but that's the impression I Ithink part of that perception came from seeing what apps were being voted on.<br>
<br>I know for a fact the list is at least somewhat distorted. Magic The Gathering: Online is #3 on the list, and I was basically the one that helped get<br>it to that position by asking people on other sites to vote if they wanted to see it working under Linux. About 100 people voted for it within 72 hours.<br>
Despite that, it's not a very popular app. It's something I think Linux gamers might be interested in, in general, but even on Windows it probably has less<br>than 50,000 active accounts.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

As you said, it doesn't seem to be giving a good representation of users'<br>
interests.<br>
