Off Grid gives you data as your weapon in this stealth hacking game, now crowdfunding with Linux support

Quoting: fleskIf anyone's interested on some more data, here's a list of my backed projects:

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1GiFKkK6MjhzHDC0sDFhMv0kutQ5hZVpHBZsZRFqXTRc/htmlview [External Link]

The current "success rate" for me is 84%.

I'll try to get the games added to the wiki page.
When looking at the empty spaces at Linux ports, I'm thinking we need some "expiry" of the promise. Like if it's not delivered 6 months after the Windows release (and, maybe, there's no sign of very active working on it), it's considered not released for Linux.

The recent Steam Play beta is now out for everyone, plus a minor beta update

Quoting: cprnOne of the companies providing software for my former employer had a minor glitch in their application's update system about 3 years ago that resulted in patches not being properly advertised to Linux clients. Obviously they fixed it right away and promised it'll auto update for each instance next time it bootstraps itself during restart. I don't work there for over 2 years but last month when I talked to my former colleagues they didn't hide their jolly grins announcing none of the machines we used to support had a chance to download that update yet. Linux stability is a bitch when it comes to updates on restart. :D

Quoting: liamdaweEven with the limited amount I've got on there right now, the failure rate is pretty low.
I couldn't believe 1%, but I'm happy to see it lower than I expected.

Quoting: liamdaweIf you gather statistics for all kickstarters that promised Linux support, that would give the actual accurate representation. I wasn't talking about personal samples in my original comment, which I what I am trying to explain.
Well, I guess you didn't do these statistics either...?

The Linux improvements sound minor, but hey, the crash reporter might help to do major improvements later on...

Quoting: liamdaweI still won't advocate for developers ignoring actual Linux support in favour of using Proton. There's so many reasons why that's a bad idea I don't know where to start.
Give it a write-up (to link to) some day...

The Steam Play whitelist just had a large update including The Witness and Wolfenstein: The Old Blood

Quoting: EikeBut where is Valve showing these changes...?
In their internal repositories, details of which are accessible through APIs they provide. Websites can use these APIs to build third-party services based on Steam data, this is what SteamDB does.
Yes, I know, I was wondering where/if/why not they are showing the list themselves somewhere. Guess it's the beta status...
