Xcom from Feral considering the Windows previews could even make me preorder it if there would be some better incentive. Good there isn't. :D

For those not keeping an eye on the latest SteamOS updates, a new beta was pushed out a few days ago! It's good to see Valve keeping up with new hardware support.

I don't have an eye on this, so I appreciate articles pointing out such changes. I find officially released updates more interesting than betas, though.

Quoting: barottoEvery single Valve game has problems with sound under Linux. I had several problems like infinite loops, hiccups, and cracklings with Portal2, L4D2 and CS:GO.
I wonder if they ever played the games they ported to their own operating system (steamos)...

Didn't meet any such problem playing through Portal, Portal 2 and Portal Stories: Mel or when trying other Valve games (HL 1 & 2, TF2, ...)

Quoting: lucinosone small detail. It is not a "free game", it is a "free to play game".

I think this is an important difference.
Serena [External Link], The Plan [External Link], You have to win the game [External Link], these are free games. They don't make money with it.
With Team Fortress 2 and many other games, they do make money, it's just a different way of monetization.
Steam makes the same difference: At the price tag, they either display "Free" or "Free to play".

I fear another one has been made by me: Portal Stories: Mel is in updates as well as in DLCs. It's called a fan mod, but I guess it better fits DLCs than updates.

Quoting: TheBossIt was only for a very few amount of games that had to be moved, can't leave the wrong games laying around taking up votes.

AH! Sorry! I quoted the wrong line of yours, which totally messes up the meaning of my posting. This is what I wanted to say...

Quoting: TheBossIn future, it's looking like we might nominate the games ourselves to prevent these issues.

I wouldn't do that, it would certainly arise questions why game X or Y is missing - and then it would be your miss, not ours.
How about a short list review phase? One day where everybody can point out wrongly placed stuff? Just like done now, except that voting is not open yet at that time, so nobody gets his vote returned?

Quoting: TheBossAnother one that sadly was missed, it has been moved. Whoever voted for that in open source games has their votes back in that category now.
