Did anyone else notice that the Steam counter for Linux games went from 538 to 338? What's up with that?
You can find the counter by going into the Linux games tab, it just says "games".

I think that's correct. It more or less matches up with SteamDB's number now: http://steamdb.info/linux/

And Stanley Parable should be hot on its heel. Amazing news. Superb!

Can't wait to play this. Hopefully Valve doesn't have too much difficulty bringing this out of the beta.
