> thus increasing the Linux player-base, making Linux a viable target for 1st party titles

Do you think the studios will know? Seems like these would come in as windows sales.



Pretty sure it counts as a linux sale if the buyer spends more time playing on Linux than Windows within a time window (I think 2 weeks).

No, they count as Linux sales, that was said explicitly by Valve. Even GOG counts Linux downloads of Windows games (they rely on user agent). Not sure how they share that info with developers though.
