How to tell what Steam games work on Linux & SteamOS, steamplay does not mean Linux support
10 Apr 2016 at 9:11 pm UTC

Steam Play does not mean it supports Linux & SteamOS. Steam Play means you buy it once, and it will only work on the platforms that the game supports directly.
I still don't get it, sorry. Could you please explain to a non-Steam user* what Steam Play means? I mean, obviously a game can only run on the platforms that it supports (at least if you don't use things like wine). Where does Steam Play come in?

* Never bought a single game on Steam, but got some as a present.

I had some crazy bugs and mistakes that were only revealed by getting it running on three different platforms.
Well, that's not crazy - it's normal. It's the reason why you should permanently test your game with all vendors during development. Also, use at least two different compilers on your code. You will get helpful warnings from time to time.

Is there any chance they release it on GOG.com? Because I would really like to buy it, but I don't spend money on non-DRM-free games.
