If Valve are in the mood to make new games, and if they'd like them to work well on the Deck, could we have In The Valley Of Gods, please?

Mentioned last month, but it would be nice to have Cosmic separated out as its own option for those that are on Pop.

Quoting: elmapulgood news:Sadly not. It will run on Linux, yes, but first class is definitely not a given. Linux gaming is hugely strategically important for Valve, but they historically haven't been good at dogfooding their Linux work. The Index is still only partially functional on Linux, for example, and this beta is not yet available on Linux. Vulkan-native and first class Linux support would be sensible for Valve, but reusing their DirectX stuff and just plumbing it through DXVK would also be well within Valve's historical norms.
1)we can be prety much 100% sure that this game will support linux and probably will treat it as first class citizen, it will be opimized for linux as much as it is for windows or maybe even more.

Quoting: InhaleOblivionAnyone of us who has used Linux for years prior to the advances of gaming understands why those of us who are lifelong gamers have two PC builds.Nope. Gaming every single day for ~35 years, using Linux for ~20 years. If a game doesn't work on Linux, I'm not interested in it.

On this game in particular, I think their realising they'd bitten off more than they can chew, early, and giving refunds to their affected customers, is over all a good thing. Upping their skill levels so they could provide a well-supported product would be better (and would help their development on their other platforms), but limping along selling a badly-supported product under false pretences would be much worse.

Quoting: TermyNot great - but as the explicitly said they will make sure it is tested on proton, i'm halfway fine with that.Exactly halfway for me: explicitly having Proton as a development and testing target means that I'd get a game at 50% off, rather than at full price if they'd had Linux as a development and testing target.

Gee, I wonder why Red Hat may be able to do more than Canonical can.

Quoting: slaapliedjeThe scale difference of how much Red hat improves Linux as a whole vs how much Ubuntu does is kind of staggering.Canonical revenue 2021: $93 million.

Quoting: Purple Library Guyslaapliedje might be overstating, but so are you.Nope. The bullshit from the tinfoil hat-wearing 4chan/Reddit/Phoronix crowd is bullshit. If you want to use snaps, use snaps; if you don't want to use snaps, don't use snaps. Either way, snaps resolving their issues is a good thing.

Snaps only come from one place to solve the discovery issue that PPAs have, and which Fedora users experience from flatpaks where they have access to some flatpaks but not all of them. All the snaps are available in one place - accessible by default for Ubuntu users and trivial to add for users of other distros (except Mint, who put up additional barriers in the way of user choice).

Quoting: slaapliedjeEvery corporation has an agenda... to make money. Canonical's best way to make money is to try to get as much vendor lock-in that they can, without pissing off the community enough that someone switches to a different distro. Snap and them being the only ones who can host a snap store is their method of lock-in.That's just nonsense. Canonical make zero money from desktop Ubuntu users. They make money, like Red Hat/IBM do, by offering paid support and services. Snaps make that hugely easier for their actual customers, and for themselves as maintainers. They might also have made money from the Ubuntu Phone, which snaps were largely created for, but they ran out of money before that could become a thing.
