Recently, Steam has officially announced they would be supporting Linux. This has set the Linux gaming world a buzz. After all this could mean a wider adoption from the mass public which might propel Linux to newer and greater heights.

Still, I have been buying games from developers who have supported Linux well before the announcement by Valve. The fine folks over at The Humble Indie Bundle have been working with developers for quite a while to provide cross platform support. However, with the ‘rediscovery’ of Kickstarter by many game studios, both independent and well known developers have taken to crowd sourcing their games.
