The next set of Steam Greenlights has hit as expected today and thankfully there are some good Linux titles in the list too!
Games confirmed to have Linux versions:
- Battle Worlds: Kronos - This richly-colored turn-based strategy game blew through its Kickstarter goal and jumped quickly up the Greenlight charts with votes of excited strategy fans.
- City of Steam - This free-to-play action RPG received a lot of visibility and votes from their beta at the beginning of the year, and now look forward to running another beta soon.
- Cradle - This first-person adventure game caught the attention of Greenlight voters with its beautiful graphics, unique atmosphere, and compelling soundtrack.
- Death Inc. - This beautiful and elegant strategy game has garnered a lot of positive press and votes with its unique art style and innovative gameplay.
- Dreamfall Chapters: The Longest Journey - The community clearly wants more from the popular Dreamfall series and quickly up-voted this game.
- Frozen Endzone - The developers of Frozen Synapse bring the strategic depth of their first game into a new, original and innovative tactical future sports game, capturing the votes of fans and potential customers along the way.
- Hammerwatch - This pixely hack-and-slash adventure game caught the attention of voters with their cooperative gameplay, character building, and modding support.
- Legend of Dungeon - This colorful dungeon crawler has gained a lot of votes as well as critical acclaim from the gaming press.
- Planet Explorers - Currently in alpha, this ambitious open world RPG caught the attention of voters with its ability for users create new content and change the terrain.
- Shovel Knight - This action adventure game has been sweeping the Greenlight charts with a style reminiscent of platformer adventure classics. After blowing through their ambitious Kickstarter goal, the developers set higher and higher stretch goals, securing an incredible 14,749 backers.
Not a bad list at all, so the list of Linux games on Steam is just ever growing with more on the way and it's not looking like it's going to slow down at all!
I think my favourite in this list has to be Battle Worlds: Kronos, the game looks beautiful and it's great to see more quality turn bused strategy titles coming!
Along with that we also still have other Valve titles to come including DOTA2, Counter Strike: GO and a few others too!
What are you looking forward to from this list or did it disappoint you?

We all would like to see native clients from dev's for Linux. But that one plugin could save all those dev's alot of time. I dont really care for in browser games myself. It's mostly that i would like to test a demo of it before i buy it, if the demo is only available in a browser.

I'm pretty sure John Carmack counted Quake Live as a Linux release.

I think it's been well established that Carmack's perceptions of Linux and Linux gamers' perceptions of Linux are not quite the same (and since Carmack doesn't buy that many Linux games, his opinion is less relevant).

it might be nice to have that plugin for linux browsers, but on the other hand then they have no motivation to do demo packages.
just force them to make demo pacakges avaialable, for downloading from steam or from their site.
much better than having stuff in browser.
for browser stuff there already is that sh***y NaCL.
sadly i know some unity games that are browser only, and thatswhy no linux support.
but we need to make us heard instead. so they can package the game normal ways.

Yeah, I know -- was more a tongue in cheek comment ;)

John Carmack doesn't know anything about Linux gaming marketshare. He didn't even charge for his Linux installers, that were created after the games release. So he didn't even see the demand for Linux games on his end. "Oh maybe by how many downloads of each linux installer that he provided" Even then.
