Based on feedback:

Biggest Surprise release has replaced best porter (since that was obvious who it would be)

Any more major category change suggestions?

Quoting: LightkeyOr at least try to keep the titles correct, I don't care if there are any in the text. :-P
Everyone makes mistakes, i just don't want what is supposed to be discussions full of minor typo and grammar pointers. It detracts from the topic.

Fixed the tiny typo, I need a corrections link to not have comments fill up pointing out stuff like that.

Quoting: KeyrockSeems to work fine for me. We're talking about games that were released in 2016 on Linux, even if they were released in a previous year on Windows, right? So, for example, Mad Max (Released for Windows 2015, Linux 2016) would be eligible, right?
Of course, this is a Linux GOTY.

Civilization VI - Aspyr Media sounded positive about the port
Not lately. The latest news from Aspyr, they say it is no longer certain there will be a Linux port.
It still isn't certain if we are doing the linux port
Where did they say that? The latest we have was linked which is from November 8th.

Quoting: NasraIf you mention OpenRA, you must talk about 0AD ! ;)
That came up in the IRC, while 0 A.D. is interesting, it still lacks a lot of polish and I don't play it regularly enough to enter my list right now.

Guys, the same answer to all the inevitable "Why not x game": This is my personal list as of right now.

Everyone's list will be different.

Quoting: SeekTheShrubberyGah! No Hearts of Iron IV or Europa Universalis IV?
Honestly, I'm not a massive fan of them, far too much depth with very little actual gameplay. I need to put a lot more time into Hearts of Iron to get to grips with it, but it doesn't seem all that great to me so far.

Quoting: TcheySo, when i pay 2,40 euro to Patreon each month, how much arrives to Liam's pocket in real ?
If you pledged 2.4euro then I likely get 2 euro in my pocket. It's not bad really all things considered. When you take into account the amount it would actually cost me to do handle everything Patreon does myself (including tracking VAT for each country and paying it which Patreon does for me!), it would cost a lot more.

Thanks for the support.

Quoting: CheesenessHave you checked out Overland [External Link], Liam? Even in its early state, I am super impressed.
Yeah! I actually purchased it when it had the limited access a while back, the progress is good, but I need to go back to it before I can recommend it :)
