Quoting: pbDo we have a screenshot of new sorting and filtering options?
And is the list view still there?
Check the other article for the new filtering.
Thanks, great to see filters by type, genre and the others.
What about sorting, the default seems to be alphabetical, is there sorting by user reviews, hours played, achievement completion etc.?

I used to like the game but the "community" has long ruined the experience for me.

Borderlands 2: Commander Lilith & the Fight for Sanctuary, the (currently) free DLC is out, but not for Linux yet

Quoting: Ehvis
The DLC will be free until July 8th, where 2K said in the press email it will be $14.99 after.
Not sure how to interpret that. Does it mean that if you play it before July 8th it's free and it will disappear after that only to return if it's bought? Because it doesn't appear is "in my library".
Currently it's published as "free on demand", so unless they fix it, it will disappear from the library (and even now it's not listed among the dlc unless you install it). It's a common mistake, so if they intention is really to let us keep it, then let's hope they fix it by changing to "no cost".

More sorting options is all I need.

An maybe the ability to browse, download and listen to soundtracks without downloading the whole game.

The dev of "Marble It Up!" had intriguing words to say about the native vs Steam Play argument for a Linux version

SteamPlay is absolutely fantastic and allowed me to play lots of non-Linux games hassle-free, which honestly is the best thing since I switched from Amiga to a Linux PC in 1999 (because I never got to play all those Windows games until now :D). But I'm still hesitant to buy games that don't have *official* Linux support. Sure, I can buy, test and refund if it doesn't run (I've done it multiple times, also for "native" titles) but that doesn't solve the question of *future* support. If the dev ships a Linux build, they sort of commit to fixing it if it stops working in the future. The same can't be said of titles relying on Proton for Linux support. So unless the dev steps up and actually commits to keeping their game playable with SteamPlay for Linux users, I'll continue to have doubts about purchasing their game.

We have some keys for 'Tank Maniacs' for those willing to test and give feedback

I'd gladly test it locally with the kids (on SteamOS). The idea of local-time Scorched Tanks/Earth is hugely appealing. :-)

Despite the high price, the initial batch of Valve Index headsets have sold out on pre-orders

Now if only the test app [External Link] worked on Linux...

By the way, is valve index wireless? or does it at least have some accessory to make it wireless?
