More sorting options is what I'd really like to see. For example sorting by user reviews or by achievement completion percentage.

Oh, and being able to download the soundtrack and/or extras without downloading the whole game (esp. a Windows-only game) would be awesome.

@cprn But that's not the whole truth, is it? The real choice is: have a fraud protection on your side at the expense of turtle-slow payment processing and every-too-often declining of legitimate payments (=constant customer frustration) or have real-time payment processing and be sure that all legitimate payments go through at the expense of occasional chargebacks (=happy customers at an extra cost). *That*s why your clients choose to ignore your fraud protection and instead put their own in place (or just go full monty until they're hit hard and realise it's not worth it).

That said, I don't think paypal even offers such a choice, and at the same time their handling of fraud payments is absolute shit. They always put the blame and the cost on the receiver even though it was their security that failed in the first place. I mean come on, is it the retailer that should guess that a paypal account has been hacked? Shouldn't paypal be the ones to detect the breach and block the payment? It makes some sense with physical goods (for example when the payment is from Italy but the shipping address is in Nigeria) but is absolutely not aligned with the digital goods market. The Internet is full of stories of companies hit had by paypal's absurd policies and blatant ignorance.

Were they selling STEAM keys at their website? Because in the humble widget I don't see a steam key, only a drm-free download (or so I presume).

Yeah, ok, but with dots? I though they used slashes, but I guess it's not a rule:

Why does the trailer say March 1st?

I'm staying true to GOG's original name and only buying OLD games there, all the rest on steam (or at places that provide steam keys, like HB).

I've bough The Following DLC for Dying Light. Not a bad deal at 8 euro I think.

Nice, I'll be buying as soon as it officially comes to Linux.

Quoting: KeyrockI might have to get The Last Tinker. If it's even half as good as Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun (very different genre, I know) then I'll likely enjoy it. Plus, I could use a 3D platformer to play until Yooka-Laylee comes out.

Just a heads up - it's not a 3d platformer. It's 3d, yes, but there isn't much platforming and even when you do some jumping, it's actually automatic (you just hold the trigger while running), sometimes you have to time some moves and there isn't much more to that. I only completed ~50% of the game but if I had to describe it, it's more of an adventure + walking sim + some fighting.

Quoting: cRaZy-bisCuiTCorrect me if I'm wrong, but as far as I know only Steam Sales played on Linux will be count as a Linux Sale. At least by Steam. I had the same question when I was considering buying boxed versions of games. For sure, this system sucks.

Steam stats can accurately show the devs how many people buy and (separately) play the game on Linux, but that's beside the point. What you wrote (only Steam Sales played on Linux will be count as a Linux Sale) matters when Win and Linux versions have different publishers - then the stats are used to determine which company will get the money from a given sale. That's nort the case here either. Shadow Tactics have a single publisher, and also the same publisher for digital and physical copies - so the money will always find their way home. I was just wondering if and how they count physical / out of steam purchases as far as Linux stats go - I just want to make sure we're properly represented in the coloured tables they will analyse when deciding on future releases. ;-)
