Quoting: Dea1993but what happends if now i buy this game on steam?? this will count as a linux sale or not?
i don't why buy a linux game if this don't count as a linux sell
It will count.

If a game supports Linux on Steam regardless of it having the icon, the developers will of course be able to see it.

The key is to buy and play games on Linux and not to buy them before a Linux build is downloadable and playable, that's the key thing to remember.

Quoting: KelsWait, it's a roguelike? Wow, I passed it over based on the art on the Steam front page, it looks exactly like those Hidden Object games from Artifex Mundi that come up. Have to actually take a look at it now.
Yeah it's an action roguelike, it's actually really cool.

Quoting: BeamboomWow - gorgeous. Hopefully there's difficulty level "very easy" to choose from, I can totally see my kid want to play this too.
Yeah, that would be pretty ideal for my son when it comes out, he would probably be at the level of being able to play it by then too.

We are now importing sales from Steam to our Sales Page

I am doing an overhaul of the sales page at the moment, so it will group the same sales together from different stores, so no more duplicate sales from different stores. I'm also going to stop showing all currencies at the same time, as it makes no sense. You will be able to set the currency you want to see and change it any time.

Once that is done, I will look into implementing a wish list for people to get notifications.

It already has an RSS feed (RSS button is at the top of the page).

Quoting: NyamiouMake sure you don't extract data that is not exposed by the public API, because databases are also protected by copyright in the EU.
Looks like Liam is scraping the public Steam Store so there is no way that he could expose non public data.
Bingo, we are only using the data you would see with your eyeballs.

Quoting: ripperJust a note, you can easily filter for Linux games deals at your preferred store using isthereanydeal.com [External Link]. You can place titles in your wishlist and be notified via email or rss. Maybe we don't need to re-implement that site here, that one works really well.
I am fully aware other sites exist. That particular websites Linux filter doesn't even work, tons upon tons of Windows only games when filtering to Linux.

Like everything on GOL, we do things our own way because we want to do it differently.

Quoting: chui2chyou can get system shock 2 for free if you install the gog client. No Linux support of the gog version though.
Well yeah, GOG Galaxy doesn't even support Linux yet.

Natural Selection 2 adds a new map and smarter bots

Quoting: GuestPlayed it last week after having had the game on hold for a longt time. Multiple crashes in addition to new bugs (like flickering UI/map, freeze of keyboard controls). Opengl-drivers for linux is still listed as "beta" in the game option, and this shows. Got so frustrated that I uninstalled the game.
Same old story then, what a damn shame.
