Euro Truck Simulator 2 has a new 'Beyond the Baltic Sea' expansion out now

ETS2 backups your profile directory on a version change. So you can just copy it back.
Wow, I have forgotten that. Thank you for the reminder.

To me, the 1.33 update in ETS2 brought a serious performance problem, with the game stuttering (like a intermittent slow motion, lag) in the cities, while in the roads it eventually reach 60fps.

I emailed them, they acknowledge that they were aware a bug existed that prevented the Steam Controller from being recognized, and then proceeded to do nothing about it. I'm still kinda pissed off.
You can use Steam controller in ETS2 with sc-controller. You can emulate an xbox controller and then customize it as you wish

It's important that you load first SC-Controller and then run Steam
I'm aware of the workaround. But my point is, the developers have not seen a single dime from me since my initial purchase simply because they are aware of but never bothered to fix this bug.
For me at last, Steam Controller is working right now. But keep in mind that:

1- I do not have SC-Controller installed;
2- I'm using Steam Client Beta;
3- I in (K)Ubuntu 18.04;
4- I updated my SC firmware via Steam.

I mentioned this on the Steam forum for both ATS and ETS2 and some people confirmed it is working, while others said it was not.

SC Controller, the driver and UI for the Steam Controller is being rewritten to be more portable

I'm glad to hear the developer is back in business. This is a piece of software that is very useful.

Now, since I'm not a programmer, somebody can explain how C will help with portability instead of Python?

For now, I will only buy properly ported games. Proton is a nice thing to have, for the games in my library that will never see a official port. I'm not giving my money to companies that ignores the Linux market.

I wished they instead fix the bug preventing AMD users from playing it. If I new they were going to ignore it for long I had asked for a refund on the same day.

Just asked for a refund now, just to see if we get some attention to this problem.

But the whole Left 4 Dead 1 is included into Left 4 Dead 2.
Yes, I know. But that wish to have everything running here is strong :-)

Speaking of Proton, now its possible to finally play one of the few Valve games that were not ported to Linux: Alien Swarm. It would be nice if Liam take a look at it.

Also, Left 4 Dead 1 still doesn't work for me.

Feral show off Total War: WARHAMMER II on Linux, along with confirming more Linux ports and a Vulkan teaser

If my experience with Proton means something, Feral is pretty safe. Unless Proton magically hits Gallium 9 levels of performance, their ports will always be better.

And I still keep my promise of "no tux, no bux".

Unsung Warriors, an upcoming 2D action-adventure has a free prologue available and it's pretty good

I tested it and indeed, the controls are really good. Looking forward to the finalized game.
