I'm really looking forward to shots of this running on the Steam Deck. And that the exposure brings more contributors, too, of course.

Quoting: PhlebiacGE just takes the library from Windows to decode those files. That's at least copyright infringement if you don't have a licence for that software on the machine you're running it on. Likely patent infringement, too (since that can be a thing for software despite it making no sense), given that Valve haven't taken the reimplementation approach.Quoting: CatKillerI hope this won't be an issue for the Steam Deck; that they'll have rolled out their re-encoding solution by the time the Deck ships.I haven't followed too closely; does anyone know the (technical? legal?) issues with the solution used in ProtonGE?

Tested with Proton Experimental, the only issue currently encountered is a small intro video not playing. This is a reoccurring issue and will be for the Steam Deck, for titles that use things like Media Foundation.I hope this won't be an issue for the Steam Deck; that they'll have rolled out their re-encoding solution by the time the Deck ships.

It seems that the moral of the story is that if you love your Linux customers then they'll love you right back.

Quoting: [Linuxtayshady]The fact of the matter is if you did ANY type of research into what I just said, simply pulling up the ProtonDB page for It Takes Two for instance, you would've seen that people with Linux Mint are unable to get the game to run.If it works for everyone else but doesn't work on Mint, that's a Mint problem. You can see that, right?

The carrot of making it really easy to do and the stick of not having the exposure of being on a highly desirable device are the tools that they have available to them.

Quoting: rustybroomhandleValve is making a huge mistake though trusting game developers/publishers to just enable anticheat for Proton on their games. I still think hardly any of them will bother. Does not matter how easy Valve makes it.What exactly do you propose as an alternative? Valve can't put working-on-Linux anti-cheat into other developer's games. They can't de-list games that don't work on Linux, since for all the strategic importance that Linux gaming has for Valve almost all of their money comes from Windows gamers. They can't ban anti-cheat from Steam and make the choice into put your game on Steam and have a load of cheaters, or put your game onto the store of an anti-cheat vendor and don't. Valve did succeed in encouraging developers to make native Linux games, but they couldn't entice the majority, and those games didn't have anti-cheat despite native anti-cheat having worked for years.

Hopefully this doesn't mean that they'll be encouraged to drop the native Linux version because of lack of experience from the rest of the team.

Quoting: ObsidianBlkWhile I understand that mindset, I just wonder, if developers still nickel-n-dimed every bit and byte of their code-base like they used to with 8-bit and 16-bit machines of yester-year, how much more we might actually be able to pack into our games today!Much, much less. "I have made this longer than usual because I have not had time to make it shorter." Fine-tuning file sizes takes a lot of expensive time, which means there's less of those resources for everything else.
