I'd say that atleast 1 or 2 are, but i'd guess that if your game doesn't work on Windows, it'll be a lot harder to put it on steam.

I reckon they'd take it
if you're looking for a profit though, then it's something worth evaluating
Let's not forget that EA has shown no signs of supporting Linux. And they make plenty of games worth playing for many people.
Lets not forget as well that even if a game isn't marked as Linux compatible it doesn't mean it can't be made to do so. Games running in DOSBOX or games with their engine source code released like most ID software games can most likely be made to run.

And wine-staging is stupid good these days, so even if you can't get a native port happening, you can just download Windows Steam (or Origin + a cert that got removed for security concerns) and run shit like that.

Source on Linux in general is kind of wack, I don't think Valve put a whole lot of QA into it
TF2 for me runs at sub-slideshow framerates, whereas every other Valve game I've tried (CSGO, Dota (haven't tried Source2 Dota), HL1, i think HL2) ran just fine

Yep. There is a game named Don't Be Patchman that was, when it was launched, exclusive to Linux. It got a Windows port about a month later.

From what it looked like it wasn't exactly flying off the shelves, and it still remains Linux exclusive on steam at least.

What?

Worth noting is that Steam has 2,323 OS X compatible games.
I'd say Linux is catching up at a tremendous rate.

huh. little OS icons higher up the page seem to indicate steamos only for me anyhow. Either way, its kind of a token gesture for a game that doesn't really have much notoriety either way to be exclusive at launch. Maybe the dev released it first cause that is what he is more familiar with and uses as his daily driver or whatever. Be interesting to see what comes out in the future, never really heard of many OSX games that launched exclusive, due in part to the fact that unless you really want to drive an agenda you just annoy potential customers (esp those that account for the vast majority of users) by not having it be available to them day 1.
I wish there was a way to see the games you own that run on Linux.

There is you just have to use the steam Linux client and the games filter can select [SteamOS/Linux] and it also gives the total number.

You can either run native Linux Steam and it'll show you or you can go to [URL]https://steamdb.info/linux/[/URL], sign in, and you can tick unowned games.
