People having issues across Steam and other places, happened since the last update.

We Happy Few for Linux and Mac being refunded, to get an "unofficial" beta

Quoting: g000hI think this might set a precedent for kickstarter campaigns. Make lofty goals of Mac and Linux releases, and then go back on those goals with refunds later. If only people kept their promises, eh.
On our tracker, it's not often this actually happens. Out of the 220 finished projects we're listing, 31 (including this) are marked as Failed on the Linux side of it. At least 7+ of those are from the developer vanishing. Compared to the hundreds crowdfunding has given us, it's still doing good. Some of those games that came as a result of crowdfunding are awesome too.

Edits: Had the finished number wrong, a few more successful projects released for Linux - updated.

Steam for Linux can now run games in a special container

Quoting: Nevertheless
Quoting: BeamboomThat's the 32bit solution right there. Excellent.
It is one! Valve just won't support it officially..
Eh? This is official Valve stuff, it means they can easily bundle all the libs needed into a runtime people can directly pick on a system that doesn't then have those libs needed. I assume that's a big part of the point of this, like Beamboom said.

Small Mode returns to Steam, Broadcast Settings appear on Linux and more on Steam Cloud Gaming
10 Nov 2019 at 5:15 pm UTC

Quoting: MayeulCI don't know whether this is related or not (to steam broadcast or steam cloud), but there are now "remote play on {phone,tablet,TV}" categories on the store page for some games (I could see those on Rise of the tomb raider, FTL, for instace, but haven't checked others): https://store.steampowered.com/search/?category2=41 [External Link] (It doesn't seem fully implemented, though).
That was added in a while back, due to Remote Play.

You know, I have to say, I haven't received a single comment report for this entire debate. Well done community. Great to see that a reasonably healthy debate can be had, without serious name calling and mud slinging :)

My own personal stance is the same rainbows and sunshine as always, I hope people can always find a way to get along. Even when views are different, as hard as that can be sometimes.

Quoting: poke86Yeah but think of how much you'd save on your heating bill...
I've got an FX 8-Core behind me for that :P

Co-op real-time strategy game A Year Of Rain for Linux is a "TOP Priority"

Quoting: PieOrCakeThe Steam reviews are "mixed", but I wishlisted anyway to encourage them to release the Linux version.
Seems like the typical teething issues for an in-development game.
