What game are you truly thankful to have on Linux & SteamOS?

I would say Rocket League, easy. Very accesible and popular multiplayer title. It's the kind of game that can seal the deal in convincing people going to Linux.

I bet it's the second option. They want to be the Apple of VR.

What one game would blow your mind if it came to Linux & SteamOS?

Quoting: PangachatMass Effect trilogy, Dragon Age trilogy, Dark Souls trilogy, Destiny. If this happens, my next ten year is done ;)
I'm surprised I had to look at 8 pages before someone whising for the Dark Souls saga. I haven't played 3 yet and I'm like 85% in 2 and they are one of the few games for wich I still reboot on Windows sometimes. Also japanese developers, I would be very surprised if they cared one bit about Linux, maybe I'm wrong.

On topic, I would love to have most of the AAA games other people mentioned on Linux, but what would totally blown my mind would be EA games on Linux. I simply don't see them making the effort at all.

Got a suggestion for an intersting video?
Well, I said "after watching one video" and that is what I did. The second one being the one in this article, lol.

Great!!! Recently I've become interested in w40k games because earlier this year I read my first two novels located in that universe, but I just don't buy Windows games.
