I said something similar some 6 months ago on GoL forum! ^_^ (as an example, for SOMA we could represent up to 30% of Steam reviews with about 2% of its marketshare)

Just run a quick session to see if it works (with my configuration) since the last update and the answer is "yes"! :) The game can be a pain to configure on multimonitor environment (made the error to reset my settings one time, had to remember the way to set the game back on my principal monitor, will never ever make this error again) but works very well, at least on my PC (Nvidia GPU), even if I only play solo (Laws of War DLC has a good story)! Virtual Programming makes a good port of Arma 3 imho (would not call it "experimental", or I want more experimentations like this one ^^)! :)

SOMA from Frictional Games is also at -80% (and Amnesia The Dark Descent and A Machine for Pigs at -85%) in the Humble Store "Indie Mega Week" (if you're not too found of "horror" games but want a good sci-fi story the "Safe Mode" added to SOMA works very well)! :)

Finished Where the Water Tastes Like Wine this morning (interesting game) and wanted to give a shot at The Station but run in a "black screen" bugs when the game begins (i.e. after the menu). :'(
Edit (in case someone reads this comment after a search about the "black screen" bug of The Station): dev' are reactive (on Steam), the bug seems to be linked to the French language pack (a similar bug seems to have affected the Russian language pack before) and a fix should be available soon! :)

"Where the Water Tastes Like Wine" because of the soundtrack (fabulous) and the well written stories of that unusual trip to the US during the Great Depression (not a game for everyone, but a very good one if you like listen to stories with good musics in the background)! :)

Their reasons are fine, and unofficial support is fine too (I've Arma3 and love it, and Everspace too before it was officially available on Linux)... but seriously, an average Linux customer has really to go to Gaming on Linux site, Twitter account of the lead developer or Reddit to have informations (all in reaction of the GoL article, without this article I'm not sure informations would be available on Twitter or Reddit)? Nothing in the game site, official Twitter accounts or Steam page... that's communication at its worst (I don't know how many persons they have for QA but they should seriously consider hiring someone for communication at least)... :huh:

Removing support silently (not advertised and not on their roadmap) is a bad move, the one which has the more chances to lead to disrespectful comments and harm their reputation. Telling openly your customers that you remove support (definitively or temporary) for whatever reasons they may have (technical, financial etc.) is the only way to go... Seriously, they never learn anything? :|

Edit: I specify that I don't have the Chroma Mug Holder, I'm not that fond of LED and Razer hardware! ^_^

Quoting: STiATThere isn't a comparable tool out in the world for razer hardware.Hmmmm... maybe I don't read your sentence correctly but there is indeed such (unofficial) tools for Razer hardware with OpenRazer [External Link] (driver and user-space daemon) and Polychromatic [External Link] (front-end, but other alternatives are available for this one): I use a Razer Mamba Tournament Edition, a Razer BlackWidow Chroma V2 (Razer Yellow "silent" switch) and a Razer Kraken 7.1 V2 successfully! :)

Just finished this game, and it's a very good one! :) Short (about 3 ~ 4 hours) but excellent graphics, sounds, music, story and mechanics (not that much gameplay as you mainly follow a branching story through dialogs, but small games well integrated in the story give a good rhythm and balance to the game)! :)
