$8.05 Win, $10.24 Mac, $14.55 Linux as of writing this.

Perhaps it's the quality of these games - since they cost $0 they can't be as good as classics like "Assassin's Creed 2"(R) where armies of highly paid game programmers worked in ISO 9000 environments to produce the best software.

I am not worthy of bragging, I wish I could give more money to the FOSS entities that I love. But I do when I can, we all do. And that's the difference..its that easy. That's how it ends up being more money given per different OS user.
