A blended view of the library could be nice - or at least a search across the whole library.

Tomb Raider's Linux port from Feral Interactive delisted on Steam

It seems odd to me that they would have a time-limited license, since the vast majority of the work happens up front, but I suppose they can negotiate lower costs that way, and renegotiate/cancel in the future based on recent revenue.

Beginnings of a WMA decoder.
With this all games that uses Media Player to run a video playback in the game could run without tweaks?
WMA = Windows Media Audio, so I wouldn't count on this helping with video playback (that would be WMV).

Isn't it a Zachotronic game?

Quoting: GuestNow I assume that if it's not a day 1 native game it's never coming.
Often true, but not always; some examples are Divinity: Original Sin, Moebius, and most recently Encased. The long delay on the first two was definitely frustrating, but they *did* follow through in the end. Still hoping that Kapia follows through...

Quoting: CyrilFor Backbone, did you added a key of the game in your account already?
Yes, but that's hardly relevant; it was added in anticipation of the promised Linux support - they broke that contract, not me. If they really care, I believe they can invalidate the key.

I requested a refund of my Kickstarter pledge yesterday; let's see how long it takes for them to follow through. Another one that seems likely to be breaking their promise is "Edge of Eternity" - when asked about the promised Linux version, they reply "you can play it on Linux with Proton" - not exactly what we backed for the Kickstarter project, is it?

Me too, but meanwhile you can see a ProtonDB rating there:

The Steam reviews for this game aren't exactly inspiring... maybe if they fix the issues Liam reported, he will do a followup on whether it's looking better.
