Yes! A truck simulator. I hope it actually is for Linux, since I'd love to play some. It's been years since the last time I played one (when I still used Windows, c. 2005).

The fact that Windows is still listed as PC induced a groan from me...

*shrug* It's pretty much an industry standard now and it's unlikely to change anytime soon. Best to learn to live with it and move on!

"PC" is mainly used in the USA, you won't see it much in Europe. It's "Windows", "Mac" and "Linux" here.

I actually posted in the suggestions forum a few minutes ago, suggesting they change "PC" to "Windows", since Linux is also "PC" http://steamcommunity.com/discussions/forum/10/882960163762208107/

If I still cringe every time someone says "hacker" incorrectly, I see no reason not to do it for "PC" as well. :p

I still cringe every time someone uses words incorrectly (yes, I cringe quite often).
Fortunately the use of PC to mean sone specific OS will begin to fade soon, as recognition of the existence of alternatives sets in.

I suspect Apple would need to aggressively adopt the term (as opposed to happily using it as a distinguishing point) for it to really start to disappear. Linux is a little too far away from mainstream and seen to be populated by ineffectual neckbeards for the broader industry to pay attention to semantic arguments like this coming from us.
