Quoting: ShmerlGamingOnLinux is even featured on the game page

Pretty sure that just means you clicked a GoL affiliate link at some point.

Quoting: g000hSlightly joking - My "game" is online bargain hunting (as well as picking up freebies).

Same "problem" here. :-p

Quoting: pageroundI wonder if kickstarter prevents them from offering pre-sales on itch or steam during their fund raising period.

I don't know if Kickstarter rules prevent it (I doubt it), but it's against their interests to have alternative funding options during the campaign, as they won't get any Kickstarter funding if they don't reach their goal.

However, "Slacker Backer" options aren't unusual after a campaign ends - I think DoubleFine Adventure started that...

Quoting: ScooptaI mean...that's a lot of games for anyone to own.

My Steam client says 1307 "STEAMOS + LINUX" - comes from scooping up lots of bundles, LOL! Like others have mentioned, I also have been a lot more selective lately.

Quoting: oldrocker99Maybe it's me, but the HB page shows which systems the games run on. I don't think I've seen it before.

It's you. :) They have always listed the platforms.

Quoting: GuestThe biggest problem I think will be compatibility, sure they might introduce updates but those could essentially break things for some games... I want the games that already work with proton to CONTINUE to work.

If I understand correctly, the intention is to allow several stable versions of Proton to be used, where a game can be "pinned" to a known working version by default, while allowing the user to override it and run with the latest. So far they have just kept updating the 3.7 version (plus a newer beta), but eventually there should be 3.7, 3.xx, 3.yy, 4.zz, etc.

Quoting: legluondunetLook here for Steamplay compatibility:

Wow, nice. It's a bummer that Valve isn't providing the filtering itself. I mean, they already have the white listing feature, so why don't thy give an option to filter search result by whitelisting status?

They seemed to indicate things will be more visible as Steam Play matures; it's still considered a beta feature. Meanwhile, there's a nice GreaseMonkey script that shows the compatibility status on the Steam page using the mentioned website's data:

There are also a couple Firefox addons that do something similar:

Quoting: slaapliedjeTheir chipsets are still crap. Everytime I use an AMD system, it has random issues.

Ironically, Nvidia made pretty good chipsets for AMD CPUs (nForce). But then AMD bought ATI...
