#Tacoma is a narrative adventure aboard a high-tech space station in 2088. Since the #games listing on Steam shows #Windows, Linux is also supported. Yet there is a reason for this. Steam apparently has a technical issue regarding the SteamOS icon and Linux. Even after the games launch on August 2nd, which will only show Windows.
Hey Todd,
We actually wanted to shoot you a note about Tacoma on Linux specifically that we would appreciate you communicating to your readers.
As stated and planned, Tacoma will be available for Linux on day one on Steam.
