Sadly got it for free this month with PS-plus.... so no incentive to get the linux version :(

Valve Rep Confirms Why Some Games Have Their SteamOS Icon Removed
18 Oct 2015 at 3:19 pm UTC Likes: 1

This makes the situation much more clear, and should help both desktop Linux and SteamOS look better for everyone to play games.
reallly ?

- it does not help desktop because now if a linux users looks at (for example a Java based game) they will not see the SteamOS icon and thus have totally no idea it runs just fine on Linux.
- for developers of the Java based game (as an example again) this means less Linux people will buy their game.

This make it clear for SteamOS, totally agree, but this does not make it clear for Linux users.

Steam Reaches Over 1,500 Linux Games, It's Not Enough
22 Sep 2015 at 10:22 am UTC

6470 windows games includes really old ones that will never be ported.
Only good representation would be to split those 6470 up in:

AAA (Modern)
AAA (+2 Years)
Regular (of what ever you want to call it)
Indy
Old

and then show windows vs linux, I would guess indy would come quiet high in % while AAA as Liam says will be really low

GOL Asks: What Was Your Favourite Linux Game Release In August?

I really wanted to like SR:HK but the whole matrix thing is making me avoid plugging in and if I have to I find my self quiting the game pretty soon, biggest spoiler for me.

So I have to say PC based its the eye of the beholder series from GoG, console based I finally finished Witcher 3, on to Metal Gear Solid :)

we got to have Vulkan drivers then though, and if the GoL Survey is any indication people want those in their bin-blob drivers.

Celestian Tales: Old North RPG Released For Linux, Some Thoughts
22 Aug 2015 at 8:44 am UTC

The game does have more annoyances, like the save system. It reminds me of Final Fantasy 7, as you can only save at specific points. I really, really hate these save systems with a passion. We have vast amounts of hard drive space, and games have been able to save wherever they please for years. Let me save whenever and wherever I want.
I doubt its done so save diskspace :) mostly this type of save option is chosen so people don't fight, save, fight, save, fight, save... but instead need to work through a portion of the game in 1 go making the penalty for failing a bit higher as more then just the last few minutes are at stake.

ps: know its not linux but if you enjoy your FF games try the Remastered FF-X, same saving system and amazing story :)

Quoting: RCLPlease add the console question to the next polls as well. This may explain why people did not buy games on PC at all.
