I would not mind that at all. I think that might be a good idea for other games we're not sure about for similar reasons too. I've come across a bunch of games like that, which have had their stats "destroyed" by bundles, without that necessarily leading to more players. Average players is probably a much better metric in those cases.

Yeah, I agree that it would be great, but unfortunately the curator tools have been pretty poor from the start and have not improved much (besides the addition of lists), so that probably won't happen in the near future. :/

Close. ;-)

Haha, oops!

EDIT: Fixed!

Elliot's Quest and Dark Scavenger also lost their Linux/SteamOS icons. I'm not sure why, but I think the latter might have been lost when Valve ran that automated testing on a bunch of Linux games a while back, since it's an Adobe AIR game.

This is a thread for keeping track of removed recommendations, in case circumstances change and we want to add them back in.

Removed game should be archived using a template such as:

* store link
* recommendation added
* recommendation removed
* reason for removal
* recommendation text
* linked review

Thanks for the heads-up. Yeah, I played the game on Linux in the past, so they must have removed Linux support since. I'll create a thread to keep track of removed recommendations.
