Quoting: chriskringel84The Store Preferences work really well for me.

Me too. I've basically allowed everything for Linux in the first place, and then I put "soccer" into the blacklist.

Quoting: SeegrasYour extremism is somebody elses mainstream. And "not giving extremism a platform" is thus nothing else but an extremist position in itself.

Really?
Karl Popper about the problem ( "paradox of tolerance" ):

You're talking about something completely different. "Extremism" per se just means you have in some area a position that goes far beyond what most people think even as outlying.

For instance, some people think copyright is not strong enough, others think it's way too strong, but the extremist positions in that debate are a) that copyright should last forever, whereas the other extremist position is b) that copyright should be abolished. Since my position is that copyright should not be abolished but return to pre-1841 levels, I think the idea that copyright should last after the death of the artist is already an extremist idea.

Quoting: ArdjeCan we turn around the filter to say that I only want games with a sexual content?

Quoting: noxOut of curiosity, what happens when you report the ones with a linux-icon and no executable to valve?

I now added my post by a list of them.

Would that be "Fraud" or "Broken"?

But I guess I should wait some, in order for them to be able to fix the problem. In the end, I'm most interested in having Linux games, not in enraging the publishers/developers.

Quoting: tuubiI don't think fraud attempts, hate mongering and racism need a legitimate platform, and neither does extremism of any sort.

Your extremism is somebody elses mainstream. And "not giving extremism a platform" is thus nothing else but an extremist position in itself.

Quoting: KeyrockHeck, Steam's had some games on it in the past with missing executables.

Right now. I have 32 games that are missing executables on Linux. All these have a Linux depot. Three of them have Windows executables in the Linux depot. Three others only have the soundtrack in the depot.

I've now written comments to those that claim their game runs on Linux but have empty Linux depots:

Quoting: anthMutiny!! is on sale on Steam at the moment for much less than it has ever been before. Maybe they're cashing in on the publicity, maybe they're getting something for this while the still can.

I just went and bought that and every other linux-game tagged with "Nudity" that was currently on sale on steam. To support the devs and to up the statistics.

And wrote angry tweets ;)

Quoting: NanobangMaybe because [fantasy](https://en.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/fantasy)? ;)

I'm a (Fantasy-)LARPer. There's a credo here: Never use "Fantasy" as an excuse for bad costumes and props. "Fantasy" is here so you don't have to adhere to limitations, not to make shittier stuff than they had historically.

Why do the ships in fantasy games always look like crap? They should look like this:
http://www.martins-live.de/ralfsmodellwelt.de/bausaetze/marine/kogge/kogge_28.jpg for instance. Or this:
http://www.esys.org/Piraterie/Schiffe_der_Piraten-Kogge-hq.jpg
Or this:
http://www.gk-modellbau-shop.de/WebRoot/Store2/Shops/61220080/477F/EB87/EB4B/1377/BEEF/C0A8/28BA/AE22/99-002.jpg
Or, if you want to be modern, this:

Did you see what all of them except the early cogs have? Yes, a tumblehome. Don't design them without. And what they don't have? An extremely high poop, without also having an extremely high forecastle. Also, they are not straight in the middle like a modern freighter, but curved outward.

But lack of tumblehome, an unbalanced high poop and a straight middle seem to be the hallmark of fantasy-ships, and it always looks like crap.

D&D, no tumblehome and a straight middle:

No tumblehome, straight middle, no forecastle.

And of course, they have rooms & cabins. Which, apart from some storage-closets in the forecastle and some cabins in the back, ships didn't have.

Early medieval ships and late medieval cargo ships are usually all storage and no real accommodations (hang your hammock wherever), while late-medieval warships tend to be all guns (yes, guns are earlier than plate armour), and for guns you need lots of free space, so the decks are again, completely open.

I like the screenshot/icon of the post. I've got those in front of my flat every day :).
