Haha, oops!

EDIT: Fixed!

Elliot's Quest and Dark Scavenger also lost their Linux/SteamOS icons. I'm not sure why, but I think the latter might have been lost when Valve ran that automated testing on a bunch of Linux games a while back, since it's an Adobe AIR game.

Sorry for budging in without a recommendation removal but just wanted to say I hope Steam will develop better curating tools in the near future so that we could just "unpublish" a review with a comment on why we did that instead of resorting to unparsable text-in-a-forum-post solutions.

Yeah, I agree that it would be great, but unfortunately the curator tools have been pretty poor from the start and have not improved much (besides the addition of lists), so that probably won't happen in the near future. :/
