I would recommend to try out Tyranny. The combat balance has some issues, but I really liked the story and setting.

I always keep an eye out for the early-unlock and get it when I would have paid the price for the game(s) anyway. This was the case for Civ 6, XCOM2, The Long Dark together with DoW 3 and Total War: Warhammer. Everything on top of that is a bonus.

I think the best way to support Linux gaming is the modding community, even with only 0.6% of the gamers using Linux. I would expect the percentage for developers that could provide mods (and therefore increase the sales on all platforms) is much higher.

Sound intriguing, especially thinking about modding. I would love to play in a dynamic crime or medieval city and fight my way to the top...

So at some point we start deciding that the value you're bringing to Steam isn't worth the cost to us.

What cost are they talking about here? Valve didn't made that particular game so Valve invested 0 money in that particular game. Valve only take a % from the game sales. There are basicaly 0 costs for Valve (Steam will run even if every single developer will decide to no longer sell on Steam because Steam is needed for Valve games).

Steam provides a Plattform for distribution (mods included), additional transactions, payment, cloud services, community forums and a recommendation system that increases your sales. This has a really high value and I am surprised that they don't just demand the steam percentages to generate keys for external distribution (so the steam service would be sold with the keys instead of given away). The way they are going means losing the money other stores make while providing the ecosystem.

Quoting: GuppyAlso I've been trying ( and failing ) to get Blood bowl 2 running on wine

It would be great if you succeeded. Bloodbowl 2 is one of the games I would actually run on wine.

I'm playing some Rocket League and try to find the time to finish Shadows of Mordor.

ARK has issues for years and they also occur with AMD drivers, so I don't think this is a problem you can expect driver developers to fix.
