Quoting: riidomCan we add tags too? I missed IF aka interactive fiction (especially since there is a storytelling category)
Can you rephrase that? I don't understand the question.
Sure :) There is no way to add tags (at least I don't see one). Since one of the category is "best storytelling", I thought it may make sense to have some related tags, for example IF, interactive fiction.

Edit: I see there is a genre "text adventure", this covers the use-case as well, I guess.
If you wish to add tags for a game, go to the game page and there's the suggest tags link.

Quoting: SchattenspiegelWhat I find even more concerning is that they are still selling the game with Linux and Mac support with no mention that the support will end on Steam (unless you you are lucky enough to see the small news section entry that will be buried before long)
Indeed, the SteamOS icon should have been removed with the announcement, it shows how little they care about us really.

Quoting: EikeOne more thing, I'm unclear about
"What is your favourite game that has seen support for a long time on Linux?"
Does the "support for a long time" mean something like continual updates,
or is it just about the all-time favorite on Linux?
Have adjusted the description.

Quoting: EikeTwo possible improvement for the pages:
* Have a "go to next caategory" button on the category pages.
* It is absolutely mandatory that "Absolute favourite game for Linux" comes last, not first! :p
Will think on those.

Quoting: Liam DaweMy request was denied last night, I've put a new one in now, let's see.
BTW Psyonix_Devin said yesterday on reddit

Hi everyone, if you are playing RL on macOS or Linux and are interested in a refund, please contact our Customer Care team here: https://support.rocketleague.com/ [External Link]

I am aware, their support is rubbish as is their PR teams. They're sending us in circles. Their support ticket crew just told me a few minutes ago to go to Steam, Valve deny it based on time. This is a terrible customer support experience.

Quoting: Liam DaweAdded a link for people wanting a refund.
Their PR team is now telling me this:
macOS and Linux players can reach out directly to Steam to request refunds and they will be honored. In these cases, Steam will make an exception to their 2 hours limit rule.
My request was denied last night, I've put a new one in now, let's see.

Quoting: GoboI despise anyone who votes for Rocket League in the Linux Game of the Year Award, especially in the category "Favourite long-term supported game". Not only because of the ended support, but considering it took them years to release a Linux version. They kept teasing, promising and delaying for a long time.

It's also nominated in "Best update received in 2019".
I've removed it, it's no longer eligible to be in our awards.
I don't care either way (I last played in 2017), but the awards are for 2019, when it did support Linux. Removing their eligibility for 2019 awards due to decision announced in 2020 seems wrong?
The only two categories they were in were specifically targeting at supported games, they're removing said support. Absolutely no way they're staying in an award. It's not that difficult to understand.
