They who? Valve? Where did you see these notifications?
Yep.
Here, Morrowind too:

I am subscribed because I own these games and tested them earlier, did not yet have time though.

Quoting: RickAndTired"early stage" he says, yet Proton already allows me to play so many great games effortlessly. I can't wait to see where it keeps going.
Any idea when they're going to update the "white list"?
I believe "Soon". They have recently asked to re-test several games, those I got the notifications for are Dragon Age Origins and TES IV: Oblivion.

Open-world action adventure 'Pine' where humans are not top of the food chain is now available

Quoting: slaapliedjeI can't seem to get the game to launch. It plays the first logo screen, then on the second I can hear the music, but it's all choppy like it's moving at 3fps, then I end up killing it after waiting for a while.
Was going to check if Linux Steam Runtime solves the issue, but the issue is already gone for me. Gnome still may show something like "would you like to force kill the process?" but anyways it goes smooth now.

I believe they will port it to classic display eventually saying VR did not provide enough revenue.

Same here, but instead of killing it I press some keys and wait 1-3 mins, and it comes to a main menu. I have this from the release day and I thought I was the only one :)

Edit: I use gamemode to set CPU governor and I checked also on fresh Ubuntu 19.10, the issue is present.

It`s going to be my birthday, so, thanks I guess :D

Quoting: m-svoI have finished and got 100% achievements in Valley, which I got more than a year ago and dropped due to issues with controller input (I decided that the game is just too hard, I was very wrong, it`s super easy with a kb).
Wonderful game. If you enjoyed it, there are others like it like The Free Ones [External Link] and A Story About My Uncle [External Link], both of which have a native linux version on Steam and go very very cheap on sales.
Thanks, I own them both and The Free Ones is on my soon (TM) to play list, and I dropped A Story About My Uncle because it was too hard. Hmm, looks like I need to try with a keyboard :D

I played several hours of Pine which I enjoy so far, even though combat is very often not an option early in the game (kinda realistic, right?)

I continued my play-through of Doom II (ashamed to say I never completed any DOS classics as a kid, they were too hard for me).
On the plus side, I really enjoy such brilliant level design, which I could not as a kid. I think games like Quake, Doom, Unreal, Rune can really teach beginner devs how to create an enjoyable experience.

Also I did a run of Ziggurat where I still want some achievements before I delete that fun game from my laptop and probably replace it with Fahrenheit: Indigo Prophecy Remastered.

Quoting: Salvatosdo those people also miss out on the likes of Zelda, Metroid or Tomb Raider for the same reason?
As for me, I like Lara, so I do not miss on TR, and I do not like Hue, that is why my intention was to not play Pine.
In the likes of Skyrim, I can create my own character, so such issue is not possible, everyone is happy.

Developers updated their position on character creation.

@all hi! We hear you! The simple answer is we didn't realise how important this was, and with our small team of 7 we prioritised other features instead.

Maybe once we iron out our bugs we can take a look to see what we can do in this area.

Seeing all the good reviews, I am considering buying it anyways and hoping it will help them add this (very much desired) feature.
