I recognize how much of an impact Proton has had on Linux gaming to help bridge the gaps in our library, and make the platform more attractive to potential new users.

But this is exactly why I won't ever see it as a substitute for native support, because the important thing is support. If we're not supported, anything could break at any time and we'll be out of luck.

I'm happy to get the refund from Valve when scumfuck companies decide to rug-pull like this. If it happens, it's usually long after I've beaten the story and become bored with the game. It's a win for me ๐Ÿ™‚

Sony needs to crash and burn

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I'm waiting for the entire industry to crash and let indies fill in

I doubt this will ever completely happen. I think Microsoft would turn windows into a full blown console with forced DRM for all games and software with perfect license tracking before sony, microsoft's xbox division and nintendo bowed out.

The only great thing is that indies can be successful without being under a major publisher. Steam kind of has a stranglehold though for no good reason other than the fact they were the first and thus the most popular one. I still remember losing out on sharing half life cd keys with my buddies. Only one could be used at a time online but few of us were online all the time, this was still in the tail end of the dialup era.

I thought playstation was a console. Did they mean Sony?
