Currently: Dishonored2, COD Infinite Warfare and Skyrim, all games Windows only showing in the banner on Linux.

I don't know if it is part of deals with the publishers that make the games but it definitely could lead to disappointment and confusion.

Mostly a duplicate of issues like #4500 / #4443 / #4448.

Well I thought it would need re-reporting given the store was updated specifically for filtering and discovery

@shanefagan, although loosely enforced, intentionally creating duplicates of open issue reports is a violation of the code of conduct for this issue tracker as all it does is fragment the discussion of specific issues and adds unneeded moderation overhead. Commenting on the existing issue report gets to the same devs as opening a duplicate.

Ahh ok, normally in Ubuntu where I usually contribute they create new bugs if versions change because it might not be the same issue you are specifically running into.

Hello, is anyone still experiencing this issue on an up to date system? Please check your platform preferences set in Steam -> Settings -> View Account Details -> Preferences and scroll down to the platform preferences.

I haven't seen this in a while so I'd say it's fair enough to close.
