For reference, during the same time, there were 536 games released for backdoored Windows on Steam, so the GNU/Linux versions represent about 8.2 % of total released titles.

Pi My Life Up ☛ Setting up a Hytale Dedicated Server on Linux
Hytale, if you haven’t heard of it, is a sandbox adventure game built from the ground up to be extremely moddable. This moddability enables creators to add a ton of extra content to the game without developers having to add it themselves.
On top of being super moddable, the game has been built from the get-go to be easily self-hostable as well. This lets you set up a Hytale server on Linux very easily, which is great if you want to play in a world with all your friends.
