http://askubuntu.com – After buying and installing a game via the Ubuntu Software Centre, I find the software does not work. But where do I turn to for support? The game company says it does not support its game ported to Linux as they seemingly where not involved in that. Ubuntu does not seem to provide support unless I pay for it (again) and it seems totally unfair to bug the user community with this issue. I've paid for the software after all... There is a serious flaw in how Canonical has integrated free and paid software into one app store type thing, without transparent support info (where to get it) for pa (HowTos)

Games and mulitimedia seem to be the preferred choice of Ubuntu users when it comes to paid stuff.

I've recently decided to try not to support any proprietary software, and see how far I can go with Free software.

Despite this, I realize Free software costs money to make, and would be happy to pay for some. Is there any way to sort through the software in Ubuntu Software Center to find some, or if not, what applications are there are there? (Examples would be great)

Thanks!

I would really love to get the Ubuntu SOftware Center working in Linux Mint 14 w/ Mate because I want to install the paid game RC Mini Racer, it's $4.99. Ubuntu software center doesn't want to run within Linux Mint, can anyone help me please?

I can't buy a paid app in Ubuntu store, it asks me to sign on then just goes to a blank white screen. This is the first paid app I've tried to buy since reinstalling Ubuntu 12. The last app I bought was some years back so I don't know if its just this app or Ubuntu pay. However free "paid" apps that use the same system work. If it matters the app I'm trying to buy is MC-Launcher and is $2.99.
