Stray is Steam only on PC?
I think so, but why would that be an issue?
Store: that's a strawman argument; depends on what you prioritize.
Launcher: not by a long shot. And it's ugly too and themes are mostly broken now.
Sometimes. For a while. Which doesn't help, if the major modder has given up, because of weekly forced breaking updates of the game. Can't just keep the version that works, even though games are one kind of software where updates are not critical.
1 would be true if the store didn’t include the launcher
Can you really call it a monopoly when the competition keeps shooting itself in the foot?
My problem is more with their workshop mods. If you own the game elsewhere, you can only download them with their own proprietary and shitty cli tool and sometimes not even that. Yet most mods are there. I mean, just provide a API man.
Yes, you will find plenty of people that refuse to use anything other than steam
Did they do something bad? I don't mind them making money so long as they are ethical.
Has fanboys ≠ is a monopoly
I don’t refuse to use other clients, if said clients are usable
Then do you think you are included in the valve fanboy group?
I've played stray on both a pop!os desktop and a steamdeck and it ran wonderfully?
Doesnt even apply to other games either, just about every game ive attempted to run on steam has worked brilliantly, only issues being games with certain anticheats. Whereas other launchers like epic take 5 years to load and I couldn't get the games to even run. Gog doesnt have Linux support, however has worked somewhat well for me in the past once lutris got it working.
Read again. My issue with Steam is with the client, not with Proton.
All moot points to me personally
Cool. Not for me.
Bummer
Loonix users when games designed for windows don’t run on their OS held with duct tape and bubble gum: 😤
The Linux Steam client is built for Linux. Yet the clicking-through of some workshop popup-menues still happens.
Yet with Lutris and GoG, it's a seamless experience.

I meant on PC.
