Linux gaming might not yield Valve as much money as they put into it, dunno.
It might still be a lever for Valve to avoid closing of Microsoft's ecosystem...

Quoting: MrNilssonWell I think the last one I played was Grim Fandango or a Leisure Suit Larry game. The last few years I just played the Counter Strike games, Rainbow Six Siege and some Fortnite on the PC and sport & adventure games on the PS4. If you're up you can tell me some must plays on Linux. Doesn't have to be only point-and-click adventures. But it would be nice if the games were native Linux games. I just want to explore Linux games at the moment as I'm new to Linux.Amnesia – The Dark Descent

INHO, sorry to the devs, there are lots of better alteratives if you don't fancy a... simple humour. If you tell about your preferences, I'm sure we'll find recommendations.

AFAIK, no game can show the Steam notifications with Steam overlay disabled.

Quoting: TiedemannI think you should be making examples. :)Quoting: GuestYou got an example of a game I can try it on cause I never have the overlay enabled.Quoting: TiedemannYeah but it is a separate thing.No, it's not, i've disabled the steam overlay a lot of times just for hiding achievement popups, you still get them but you won't see it.
If you don't get them and I do I'm certainly going to make a ticket on it.
