Quoting: BillNyeTheBlackGuyGame is great so far from what I played. My only problem with the game is I think all the profanity in the game is way out of place. Way too much cursing for the sake of cursing at times, but that's just a minor gripe.

What? No, it does not. It's set in 1989. And let me guess, you've neither been an adult nor a teenager then.

As it happens, swearing is part of culture, and SNIP BY EDITOR.

Editor note: Cool your attitude.

Quoting: ElectricPrismI can barely run most games at 4k on my GTX 970, and the framerate isn't steady or high enough to play.

I've got a GTX 960, which is usually plenty for 1080p, but I can't see me doing 4k with it. No matter the 4GB video memory or not.

Quoting: adolsonWow, 1800 games! And only 1790 of them are visual novels!

You forgot the choose-your-own-adventure books games.

Counted them
- 141 visual novels
- 44 choose your own adventure books
- 36 hidden object games
- 78 round-based strategy games
- 9 real time strategy games
- 84 racing games
- 105 sports games
- 157 first person shooters
- 9 third person shooters
- 156 point & click (adventures?)
Roleplaying games are missing here, because as with "adventures" everything is an RPG nowadays.

The big categories, where everything gets lumped into, even if only parts apply:
- 1048 strategy games
- 1480 action games
- 738 RPGs
- 670 simulation games
- 1178 adventures

Once upon a time I had every title available for Linux. Now I've got 1238 out of these 1800 on Steam. I still _could_ buy them all, but slowly, the realisation dawns that very soon, I won't be able to do, and besides, I totally have not interest in certain things, like soccer (in any form whatsoever). Or 2D platformer (though I do have quite many of those). Or bullet-hells. Sometimes I do buy games that don't really interest me, just because they run on Linux (except if they're about soccer).

I also have a list of some 60 games that are on steam, but not available for Linux there, but elsewhere. And another one of 20 games using Unity, that work on Linux, but are not released officially for Linux.

And there are even more, if you look at (defunct) desura, humblebundle and itch.io. I totally lost the overview there.

And all that is not counting open-source games.

I've had this for years. Now I play it, and it's surprisingly good.

Breach of contract? I mean, technically, they're got a contract with Kickstarter backers as well, so not delivering for Linux, when they said so, makes them default on that. And technically with every backer, not just Linux users.

I took a look at fixing Unity engines for games that came without Linux support.

http://seegras.discordia.ch/Blog/windows-unity-games-on-linux/

As for Republique, there are actually three Unity-Plugins:
BalancerSDK64.dll -- http://www.atangeo.com/products/sdk
CSteamworks.dll -- https://github.com/rlabrecque/Steamworks.NET
cri_ware_unity.dll -- http://www.cri-mw.com/

And yes, two of them are broken.

Minecraft
The Long Dark
Ark Survival Evolved
The Secret Order 2 (Yeah, I somehow like these hidden-object-puzzle-adventures)

It's very nice.

However, it can be rather frustrating. One wrong move, and you're dead. Like: Fell down a ledge, strained your wrist and ankle, and now you can't run from a wolf, and you can't use a bow either..

Still, it's quite moody, nicely made and I somehow like it.
