Hi

I noticed that DLCs for Linux games are also listed as Linux games and there is no separate category for DLCs. This is very confusing, as there is now way to select a group of games like "Indi-Linux games", "DLCs" in the Linux client so we only have the general Linux tab with all the Linux applications in it. As such also the DLCs are listed as games and this is very confusing if you want to see how many / what games are actually there for Linux. Also you can't really search for your game type as there is no "Action Games-Linux" or "Strategy-Linux-Games" category or something like that.

Please introduce these categories the the Linux games so finding a game would be much easier.

Thanks

Are you referring to the store in the client or the list of games you have?

If you're referring to the store in the client, the way to do this is to go into the search list. To do this, go to the store page and hit the magnifying glass (top right corner). From there, change "Any OS" to "Linux" and "All items" to "Games"

For finer control, you can click "Advanced Search" to set a genre.

By doing the above, it sets it up to only display Linux Games of the selected genre.

@MrSchism My experience is not what you're describing. When I select "Games" like you suggest, I also get the DLC for those games listed.... which is exactly what I don't want.

Nothing extracted yet.
