Hey @liamdave, just so you know I also had problems identifying which video was on which OS. It was not obvious if the description was matching the video below (same column) or beside (same line). Thanks for your amazing work btw :D

Quoting: NezchanOh, I see where I went wrong. AaAaAA!!! - A Reckless Disregard for Gravity isn't out for Linux, but
AaAaAA!!! - For the Awesome is. That's where I got confused.

And I just checked, I still have access to a Linux version of Jamestown on Humble.

Quoting: BTREThe Humble Store link in the article does include DRM-free builds though.
Sadly, I bought it on Humble and realized I could not download the DRM free version. Only the Steam one. I opened a bug at Humble (Request #1246699) and for now they removed the labels advertising the game as DRM-free.
Hope it will be back soon.
OK, the DRM-free version is now available on Humble. Yeah !

I've just bought it for Crazy Taxi which I played this summer in arcade with my kids. Yeah !
If you buy it too, make sure to patch it with the analog patch and the original music patch as described here: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=964260789 [External Link]

It works well in Proton with the patch.

I may have been the first Linux user as I reported on the Levantera Steam forum a few bugs to the dev: https://steamcommunity.com/app/506700/discussions/1/1696043263510839522/ [External Link]
For me the game is not yet really playable but the dev seems to work on it.
