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.

Some people - even software developers - need to feed themselves or even a family. Not everybody has the time or the ressources to wait for a successful Kickstarter campaign or have a butter yielding real job or live at mum hostel or anything. They needed money, Microsoft gave it to them, they created a game (said to be very good). That's it. Of course, a good game developer wants as many people as possible to be able to play his game, but feeding comes first.

Quoting: anthThey'll be wondering this even before porting, and will likely include analytics software within the game to tell them this and more.

... or they refrain from doing so for legal, morale or - most likely - practical reasons. Implementing/using such software costs additionaly money and time.

Quoting: anthGiven that Steamworks will tell publishers where sales are being made [External Link], detailed player stats [External Link], how web surfers found a store page [External Link], etc, we can be sure that at the very least there will be aggregate data about which platform keys were redeemed on.

Ain't this data the one discussed on this website for years now, defaulting to Windows and not switching to any other system if not played on this system shortly after the sell? And... I wonder when this sell is being accounted for key resellers - probably when they bought loads of keys long time ago?

Quoting: tuxisagamerWindows vs. linux keys really only matter when the port is done by an outside contractor like Aspyr and Feral.

No. For every game and every company, some boss will inevitable some day ask if it was worth supporting Linux.

Quoting: GuestIMO:
- Merchants of Kaidan and Millie are good
- Iesabel is bad
- Frederic: too hard, made for touch screens and not really playable with kb or mouse (there is a demo on Steam)
- Violett: too illogical for me, lack of explanations/story (no text at all), but point&click fans may enjoy it. It’s often discounted on Steam for a very small price.

Violett is not a classical point and click and I found it a bit illogical and not guiding enough as well. Gave it a thumbs up at the steam review nevertheless, it's not bad. Had some fun with it inm the silent days between Christmas and new year some time ago.

About Iesabel... I disliked it from the first sight and coudln't stand it mor than 5 minutes. Dunno, the interface feels just plain wrong.

Millie has a demo AFAIR, by the way.
