I really liked the Hard West 1 and I've heard a lot of good things about Phantom Doctrine.

No opinion on the rest though.

Quoting: hardpenguinI wonder when are they going to push it to all beta users.
It's available for all users, you have to run Steam with "-newbigpicture." It's easiest if you add it to a desktop shortcut. And if you want it to start on boot, copy the shortcut to "C:/ProgramData/Microsoft/Windows/Start Menu/Startup" I think, and untick the option in Steam itself.
Thanks!

I was aware!

But I believe there will be a point when the New Big Picture will be the DEFAULT to ALL people without any extra steps required. And this is what I meant :)

Eventually, the 32bit on 64bit work will allow you to run 32bit apps / games on 64bit Linux without any 32bit libraries on your system
I absolutely love this initiative!

Quoting: davidakYou also have to link your Steam account to get the free Garfield Kart.

In order to complete your purchase of Garfield Kart - Furious Racing, you need to link your Fanatical account to an Unlimited Steam account. This is an account that has spent over $5.00 USD in the Steam Store.
Still not sure if the site is legit.
Yes it is legit. Multiple game developers work with them. This is not a reselling market, it is a legit distributor like Humble.
