Quoting: soulsourceIf I may make a suggestion: It would be awesome if the article would include links to shop pages for the games mentioned (where applicable).
I'd consider this a win-win-win addition, as readers could directly go the the store pages for a game they are interested in, stores would get additional customers, and you would get some money through affiliate links.
Ah yes, totally forgot. They should all have appropriate links now :)

Quoting: ShmerlYep, that's good now! Notable that Vega usage started growing around the same time prices on cards started normalizing, when cryptocurrency boom was over.
Did a small adjustment thanks to a tip from Beko on Twitter, now such items won't show at all until we have data for them instead of having months of zero - looks a lot neater now.

It's gradually shaping up :)

Is there a GamingOnLinux Curator or Group on Steam?
Yes to both.

Thanks tuubi.

We really do need to re-design our headerbar to incorporate easy links to such places, they're currently buried in our footer. Just haven't had the time :)

Quoting: ShmerlFor some reason data for Vega 56 / 64 cards stopped showing up since October / November:



Also, AMD RX 590 is missing (but that's fairly new).
Okay, found the issue.

First, I've made the monthly date drop-down be allowed to go back two years instead of one, which helped find the mystery. Those cards didn't have data until the month after, meaning I need to just bump them a month forwards. A simple bug, just need to sort it out :)

Edit: Should be fixed.

Quoting: naegling23FYI, you dont need to install SC controller, just set your steam desktop configuration to generic controller or xbox or whatever, when the steam overlay "crashes" it will default to the desktop layout.
That's an interesting workaround. Still, they really should fix it.

GOG are giving away SOMA, act fast to secure your copy of this great Linux game

Quoting: GuestFor your information:

Right now, the "claim" button on the game page does not work. The GOG support has kindly redirected me toward the main store page : https://www.gog.com/ [External Link]

The button provided on that page works. Cool ! I now have SOMA on both steam and GOG. I guess the other page will be fixed soon enough. ^_^
Thanks, added a note.

Quoting: Purple Library GuyMinor pet peeve . . . none of the games literally flew off the digital shelves. You're thinking of games that figuratively flew off the digital shelves. :P
I'm literally an idiot :P

Quoting: pete910Any chance of adding the "dropped linux support" stats ?
In the top sellers: 2 - Rust, Human Fall Flat.
Early Access graduates: 1 - Rust.
Top Played: 2 - Rust, Human Fall Flat (3 if you want to get technical with ARMA 3 - but does it count it was experimental?)

Quoting: Shmerl2. Ability to turn off options in the legend, to be able to start enabling them one by one. It should help the massive examples like GPU model.
Added a pretty basic version of this, should help.
