Please report bugs to the bugs forum and tell me how to reproduce.

Their main website annoys me as well, the fact that I have to manually subscribe to a game to receive news in my notifications about it even when I own it as well.
When you buy a game you should be then subscribed to it.

Just FYI all commenters, indiecity will be doing it in a much more sane way and just putting 32bit or 64bit in the system requirements area and not split them into two platforms :)

Holy cow you are right, good find but honestly only including Linux 32bit selection from a link inside a real small pop up most will ignore...sigh.

Yeah I updated the article to have it :), can't see it linked from anywhere on the Desura website though.

I didn't even know that existed which is bad, I will change mine now so I don't miss anything but my god what a stupid way to do it.

I have now changed it and more games have appeared thank god, although now it doesn't highlight my platform select at all on the top right on the Desura website, they really need to sort this out.

Quoting: Bumadarit might have a few issues but at least its no DRM and truly for all linux flavors.  Heck its even open source now   I love it, thanks for the heads up though on the 64/32 bit
Desura itself has no DRM but developers are free to put DRM in installers for games on Desura FYI.

Quoting: avarisclariI haven't had an issue with it, as even my 32 games ARE showing with my 64. I dunno what I'm doing different. Never mind, I remember now. I "managed my platform selection" so that 32 bit games show up instead of 64 so I see all Linux games.
So when you login, up the top right on the Linux icon do you have 32 or 64 on the Linux icon?

I'm sure Steam will set the record straight for the Linux market, will be interesting to follow the market share it has on Steam.
