It's time to take another look at some great deals going on for Linux gamers, could we have your next game?
As usual, all deals picked are hand-picked for games I think you might appreciate. For any bundles, I will only note the Linux titles included, there may be more that don't support Linux in them too.
First, let's take a look a some game bundles going on. Humble Bundle is up first!
The Humble Endless RPG Lands Bundle has: Borderlands 2 (with some DLC), Wurm Unlimited and Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel which all support Linux. Wurm Unlimited only has a Windows icon, to which I've told Humble their error and they thanked me but haven't yet changed it. It also gives you 10% off your first month of Humble Monthly if you pay more than $1.
Also, the Humble Gems Bundle 2 is still going which has: The Count Lucanor, Pinstripe, Slayaway Camp, Apotheon and Cryptark.
Finally, their last bundle which has some Linux goodies is the Humble RPG Maker Software Bundle, which include:s Skyborn, Last Word, RPG Maker MV and Echoes of Aetheria. It's also likely the RPG Maker MV Starter Pack supports Linux, since it's just a DLC content pack, but it only has a Windows icon.
Bundle Stars actually have a good number of bundles on sale which have some Linux games, you can see all their bundles here. I don't think any of them are particularly great deals personally, but you might find something you like.
Next, let's look at some proper games on sale across various stores.

Stop it! There are already 50+ games on my wishlist
And how many more in your back log?
Stop it! There are already 50+ games on my wishlist50? is that all? I have over 900 on my wishlist, every time I buy one on there I seem to add another 5 in it's place.
It also gives you 10% off your first month of Humble Monthly if you pay more than $1.I think every Humble Bundle gives you 10% off the first month of Monthly.
Personally, I am on the fence with Humble Monthly. Its about 6-8 games a month, but only 2 or 3 support linux. Sometimes its a nice month, other months its nearly worthless. However, you can gift the keys of windows only titles, (or linux titles you don't want or own already.) It also gives you 10% off of everything in the Humble store, even if it is on sale.
As for the titles currently on sale... War for the Overlord is a Dungeon Keeper Clone... (Dungeons and Dungeons 2 are also Dungeon Keeper clones, and Dungeons 3 is being released on Friday the 13th this week.)
Seems you can still buy CAT through that widget you posted when you first reported on it for 0.99 $ :)
GOG doesn't have a lot at the moment. Still maybe worth mentioning is Torchlight II at 75% discount.
If you own either of the Torchlight games on Steam, you can currently get them free on GOG:

I did this and it works... Interesting though, I bought both from Humble Bundle... Both have linux support on Humble, however only Torchlight II has linux support on Steam and GOG.
FYI LiamYeah, I probably won't keep mentioning it myself after doing it once though, since I think it's nicer to support a developer properly. Still, they should update it if they cared that much.

Umm. let me correct you just a little - War for the Overlord is much more DK clone then Dungeons and Dungeons 2. Dungeons is more "wanna-be" Dk, while War for the Overlord is almost complete copy to some point - maps and campaign is, ofc, different, but mechanics almost similar to DK2 right to the point where its going awkward. If you looking for real DK2 restoration you need look for War for the Overlord
And for Dungeons 2...a played it and somehow its feels kinda dull and shallow.
Kingdom: New Lands is at 75% discount on Bundlestars. Possibly the lowest I've ever seen it. Great game, already own it. The offer doesn't last long, if you decide to grab it.
