It seems you can customise the store and remove unwanted games. Take a look at this:

Yes, then click "All Games" and see my point. Apart from the games you personally have to pick individually on your store-front the rest are all still there.

Developers Are Unhappy With Steam Having So Many Titles Released So Quickly
28 Apr 2014 at 2:11 pm UTC

Quoting: AnonymousYeah, it really sucks to have so many choices of games to play. I could see how a dev wouldn't want another dev to be able to try making money while they make money; it's practically stealing! :S
You obviously don't understand the issue with a comment like that. This is nothing to do with greed, but visibility.

Quoting: GoCorinthiansWhy are everyone blaming Steam for DRM version of game wich is really a choice of Devs not steam...damn..

Steam has a bunch DRM free games!
The problem people seem to have is downloading and logging into Steam, for me though that's no more of a pain than downloading Chrome every-time I install Linux, then logging into a random website I purchased a game from.

Unreal Engine 4.1 Has Been Released, Features Early Linux Support
28 Apr 2014 at 12:05 pm UTC

Well others answered what I wanted to.

Wanting to get into Linux doesn't mean they will, they have a big publisher who controls Origin. Unless Origin comes to Linux (unlikely) I can't see Frostbite being on Linux either.

Quoting: WiderwilligWhat about the Frostbite Engine? Is there any hint about Linux support?
IIRC, the Frostbite Engine is developed by DICE which belongs to EA.
I'd be more than surprised to see anything Linux related from EA, until SteamOS will be overly successful and, thus, "proves" that there is a market for Linux-based games.
I actually am pretty sure I've read somewhere that indeed Frostbite for Linux is in the works too.

And a quick Googling confirmed it:
http://www.tweaktown.com/news/33438/dice-says-it-will-support-linux-could-see-battlefield-4-on-steamos/index.html [External Link]

It's also listed under "game engines for Linux" on Wikipedia:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Game_engines_for_Linux [External Link]
I've said it before about that article, it's totally wrong.

They never said they will support Linux, but that they want to which are very different things.

We covered DICE with an actual quote here: http://www.gamingonlinux.com/articles/lars-gustavsson-of-dice-creators-of-battlefield-want-to-get-into-linux.2561
