Saints Row 2 [Steam Link] is currently free to grab it on Steam for a limit time, so act quick if you don't own it yet. The other Saints Row titles are on sale as well.

While I wasn't very impressed with the port personally, some of you who don't own it might want to check it out. If you add it to your accounts now, it should be free to own forever. Always nice when developers offer this for some of their older games, but it's just clever marketing for their newer games.

You can find them all here and on Steam they all support Linux, sadly GOG isn't stocking the Linux versions.

If you are trying it for the first time, come back and tell us how it runs for you! Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

Quoting: throghTo be honest: The game itself is not free available! There is just nothing to pay for renting another entry within the account, which itself is also not the own property. Valve is just so "kind" giving a defined amount of space on their servers, including the database.

You are to late, the offer is over.

He wanted to express that he considers posession of a game at Steam no posession.
At least in my country, the acquiring of software cannot be reversed by the seller/gifter, so I consider this posession.

Öhm, ist mein Englisch so schlecht oder deins? :)

"throgh" wollte uns sagen, dass es für ihn kein Besitz ist, wenn man ein Spiel bei Steam hat.
Nach EU-Richtlinie ist es das aber. Wenn man eine Software rechtmäßig erworben hat - für welchen Preis auch immer - (und es sich nicht ausdrücklich um ein Mieten handelt), dann darf man es laufen lassen und man darf auch nicht daran gehindert werden.

Mein Englisch ist so schlecht und Google Translator macht es nicht besser.
Nur Erwirbst Du nicht die Software, sondern den Datenträger (bei Digitalcontent nur eine Lizenz). Du erwirbst also nur Nutzungsrechte in Form einer Lizenz.

Aber lassen Wir das, das wird zu Off Topic.

Das stimmt nicht. Das hätte die Verkäufer zwar oft gerne so, aber die EU-Richtlinie verbietet es.

Sorry. ;)
I explained what I meant with my previous English comment.
EU law prohibits removing a software licence when you bought (or got gifted) software, be it digital or on disc (if it has not been explicitly only been rented).

Corporations seem to have a hard time accepting that they can't just override laws willy-nilly with their idiotic EULAs.
