Changes to our Survey are coming, hopefully to make it easier and better

That is a step in the right direction, I really like that!

However, I think the survey will have to be also available for people who do not login to GOL, otherwise less people will take it.

I only hope that my answers will not be available publicly on my profile :)

Quoting: GuestGuessing from the trailer it is yet another CS(GO) clone.

It's a shame, but I can see Valve's real point, they don't want any actual competition for sales coming from something on their own store.
I hate it already if a game needs an additional account to play it on Steam. Why hell should I want another Store, which just adds another account on the top? NO THANK YOU!!!!
itch.io is completely DRM-free, the client app they wanted to add is 100% optional but it is useful for downloading your games :)

There's an open source Standalone Steam Controller Driver

Afaik you can also use the Steam Controller with non-Steam games if you add them to your client and run in Big Picture Mode, but not sure since I didn't try that by myself.

Gorky 17, another classic Topware published title now in beta for Linux, uses Wine

Quoting: TobiSGDTried it, game crashed immediately with a DirectX problem after the intro video that is shown when starting a new game. Posted the info and log in the Steam thread about the Linux beta, let's see if this can be fixed soon, from the description this game sounds like a Jagged Alliance 2 type of game and I really like that one.

The game has problem with the Direct3D rendering mode even on Windows. Try software rendering. The game won't look much more uglier, but it should run fine.

It isn't as much complicated as JA2, but it has quite entertaining setting and plot :)
