Quoting: Mountain ManUnfortunately, this is a result of there being no standardized way to design a digital storefront. There is a learning curve for every website, so it doesn't surprise me that someone might miss what seems obvious to someone else.

Indeed, every store has quite a different layout, apart from GOG and Humble Store which both have a similar homepage where you can easily access a list of new games (which I find much nicer).

Hopefully with me mentioning this, it will:
A) Further highlight to Valve they have issues
and
B) Help anyone else who isn't aware see that it's quite easy to get to

That's one small part of the article, and yet again, I did outright state I agree with the issue at hand. The meat of their article was complaining about where the link is, and again, I agree. No need for the pedantic stuff here :)

Quoting: hardpenguinNo offense, Liam, but if the problem doesn't affect you, don't assume it does not exist :)

Well, I did specifically state very clearly that the author has a good point about the Steam UI. I also clearly noted I believe Valve need a clear link to the new release section on the homepage. I am well aware of the issues, as noted in the article.

The author's main issue was not about discoverability of small indie games, the main issue was how to get to the newly released list.

Edit: Cleared up what I meant.

Quoting: liamdaweValve used to manually add-in new games that added Linux support later, but they stopped doing that.

What they (very obviously) should do, is keeping separate release dates for every platform. I can not understand why they do not do that...

I imagine it's a case of that part of the store filtering not being designed with multiple platforms in mind, it's likely in need of some upgrades.

Quoting: lucinosbut unfortunately this shows new games, and filters Linux support. There is no known way to show new games on Linux. For a example Civ6 is not new game but is new on Linux. So no good automated tool. Best way so far to see important games new on linux is seeing articles on gamingonlinux.com...

It will show you new games on Linux, if they had day-1 support. Valve used to manually add-in new games that added Linux support later, but they stopped doing that. They do need better filtering in general, so hopefully it's on their list. Until then, we are here!

Quoting: throghHey Liam: GOG has also a release of this game. Do you know if there is a version planned?

I don't make a habit of auto-linking to GOG, as they often see a delay. No word on it, this is all I have atm.

Okay, it really will be day-1, see the top of the article.

Quoting: miroPC2 looks good, yes, and I believe it will be a pretty much good game. now I still doubt I would buy it and I am really not the shitstorm-like-guy I probably should be, but I think in case it really does come to linux, PC2 would be the first game on steamOS I would `pirate` by downloading it from whatever source and using a noCD-crack or whatever. Just for fun, to show my lack of support for these ...guys.

Please leave piracy at the door before commenting here, we do not support it. This is an idiotic view to take "it doesn't support Linux, so I will pirate it". That doesn't show your lack of support for them, it shows you up as a pirate. Not cool.
