Boiling Steam ☛ New Steam Games with Native GNU/Linux Clients, including Drova - Forsaken Kin - 2024-10-16 Edition

Between 2024-10-09 and 2024-10-16 there were 17 New Steam games released with Native GNU/Linux clients. For reference, during the same time, there were 100 games released for backdoored Windows on Steam, so the GNU/Linux versions represent about 17 % of total released titles. A fairly high percentage, but a small number all things considered. It looks like there are fewer games released in October compared to previous months so far.
