Farm Together, a cute & chilled out farming sim will come with Linux support

Very excited about this. No violence, no brain hurting puzzles, no dating simulation, just pretty, peaceful farming.

Steam now has a form of platform-specific wishlisting, to help developers see demand

Quoting: Smoke39I'm not sure how useful this will be. It doesn't count people who dual boot but prefer Linux, and people who don't know about this feature may not bother wishlisting games they can't play (personally, I use the "follow" function for games I'm hoping get ported, and only wishlist them if and when they do). I kinda feel like this could actually make demand look even smaller than it actually is.
Seriously. Given that the wishlist is already kinda of unwieldy due to the complete lack of filtering, why would we want to clutter it up even more with stuff *we can't even play*? And what happens when a well-meaning friend/relative sees it there and buys it for us? :/ I'm glad Steam is trying help with Linux, but this particular plan is rather less than half-baked.
