It's not like they need to do detailed QA, just a smoke-test. Does this even run?

The games might not be recommended to run on Linux by this blog author but it doesn't mean they do not run. As far as the games the author states will not run at all while I cannot confirm all of the titles on the list I can confirm that 3 are incorrect at the least: Anomaly 2 which the author claims it doesn't run on Linux. Runs on Ubuntu 16.04 just fine it does seem to not support integrated graphics (like many 3D games on Linux) which is pretty darn clearly specified in the Minimum System requirements for Linux even on the Humble Store. Botanicula another game that runs on Linux but requires you to install the Adobe Air Runtime (and a to have Geforce card IIRC) which isn't clear if the author even attempted to do. Dungeon Defenders another game that I can confirm to run on Linux requires again a non integrated card.
