I totally agree that valve need to showcase games like this when they get support for a new platform. This game went well under the radar, and I'm sure there's many more like it.

The first one was a blast, so this is on the wishlist for sure. I never did beat that dealer though... :><:

This does sound like a really great expansion. For various reason my gaming budget for this month just flew out the window, but this baby's wishlisted.

Valve makes adjustments to user reviews due to review bombing with 'histogram' charts

This brings up the question about the purpose of user reviews - are they there to assess the game itself, or also to rate Developer/Publisher behaviour? Take GTAV as an example, they shutdown the OpenIV Mod site and Steam reviews got bombed hard. The game itself was unchanged, but suddenly it had mixed reviews.
For me, Steam user reviews have sadly become a lot less trustworthy than they ever were. I can't imagine Steam without them though, because without them you are blind to how good the game really is from a user perspective.

It seems like the MacOS version has also been put on hold, so it sounds like the money-man may have started closing some taps. Let's hope it has a successful release!

It was the Redhead, in the kitchen, with the candlestick! Ah whoops, wrong game.
This does look interesting though - nice acting. Wishlisted.

Economic Tires of West Norwood are selling a Pirelli P Zero tire which is "utilising the same processes as in the production of Formula One™ tyres". What greater proof do you need?

I made the comment last month about the German Linux market share reaching 4% according to Statcounter. Now one month later it's at 4.9%, so something moved last month. Statcounter also count ChromeOS separately.
