I wonder if this means just Firaxis, or Take2 as a whole... GTAV on Linux, anyone?

Yet another title in Steam's top 10 most played games on Linux. Brilliant. That's the vast majority now.

I don't have anything else to say.

Oh, btw, I am deleting TW2 from my partition to install CIV5, I am counting on gol to tell me when an update is available ;)

I bade goodbye to L4D2 for now to make some space, I'll welcome it back on my SteamBox when it gets released finally. ;-)

Great work! Runs very well on my system (Open Suse 13.1; Nvidia Geforce 460). But I have a problem with the DLC. They don't appear in the library (neither in steam, neither in the game). I guess they will come later. Anyway, good news good job :-)

Lets see how Civ 5 goes. I tested Pandora two days ago and was totally destroyed after 3 minutes xD

It runs really well. just a problem with the dlc they're not available in the game but i think it'll be updated soon.
I was waiting for this game for a long time :-)

Runs PERFECTLY (it seems :P) very smooth...
I hope VP optimizes The Witcher 2 to get something similar to Civ V!!

:D
