Quoting: stuffGuys, put off your tin foil hats. The only game I could find that is filtered is:

This is not a AAA game by all means. It really got review bombed without a valid reason.
Shadow of the Tomb Raider still has all reviews, Metro still has all reviews, Firewatch has still all reviews, DOTA 2 has all. I could only find this one game. If anyone has more examples I'd be very interested. But right now it absolutely looks totally sensible. Steam should have filtered out Metro's reviews, too imho...

Hi guys, from Valve's official announce: https://steamcommunity.com/games/593110/announcements/detail/1808664240333155775 [External Link]

Q: Does this mean you'll be going back to identify and remove old off-topic review bombs?

A: Based on internal conversations and consultation with some of the partners that have experienced off-topic review bombs, we decided not to unilaterally grandfather in what's happened in the past.

I can confirm that Hatred works on Linux pretty well, I've completed the whole game on Linux and also the third person view mod works ok, just the screenshots are broken, as in other titles using UE4.
Nice game and decent performance since the main colours are grey and red :)

What about Amazon Lumberyard (and Star Citizen) ?

Quoting: facePlantedI've read more than once that to have the game count as a Linux sale (in the Dev statistics), you need to install and run it on Linux within a couple of weeks.
This is what I've been doing with my latest purchases ... even when using the Steam client for Linux to buy the game, I install it immediately and run it for few seconds.
Is this still the case ?

I think you misread that.
When you're buying on Linux (and don't install on Windows), you're fine.
When you buy on Windows (or mobile or whatever), you need to install and run on Linux in the following days/weeks/noone knows for sure to make it a Linux sale.

Over Christmas holidays, I could only play on my wife's notebook, which unfortunately is running Windows. So I bought some little games (The Mooseman, Nelly Cootalot: The Fowl Fleet and Thaumistry: In Charms Way) some weeks before and installed and ran them under Linux, in the hope they will count as Linux sales...

Cool thank you and Stranger for the answers :)
