I've logged 495 hours on ETS2 and 80 hours on ATS so far (that's easily verifiable on my Steam profile, http://steamcommunity.com/id/catchatyou/games/?tab=all) [External Link]. I've logged all of those hours with an Xbox 360 controller, and it's worked well for me, so I don't think a steering wheel is absolutely necessary. All 80 hours of ATS have been played on Linux while only ~30 hours of ETS2 have been on Linux unfortunately.

Performance isn't a night and day difference on SCS games like others, but there still is a noticeable performance difference. I simply bought a beefier graphics card to make up the difference, and that's good enough for me.

These two games from them are games that I likely wouldn't have purchased anyways, but maybe down the road, I'll buy them for principle to support the devs for taking the time and effort to bring it to Linux, and I have added them to my wishlist in the meantime. I'm playing American Truck Simulator and Cities: Skylines far too much right now to give them up, and I might even dive back into Minecraft now that it's updated...for old time's sake!

Car Mechanic Simulator 2015, Just Cause 3, BeamNG.drive, and GTAV are my top picks.

SCS Software is my favorite developer by far, and like many others, I have also purchased on day one to support them. This is another great game from them; I can't wait for the map expansions!

I'm looking forward to American Truck Simulator a couple weeks from now!
