Definitely awesome news for newbz—definitely something I remember having to troubleshoot in my switch to Linux.

I hadn't noticed the multi-DRMs built in until reading comments. There's no way I'm preordering what might not even work on Linux.

I hope they do a better job of optimizing. Take notes from Threat Interactive on YT. I am stoked tho! To see those little, out of the cone of the flashlight, ghosts with updated graphics.

Good move, although I thought they were already defaulting to Wayland in their KDE releases.

Escape Simulator drops the Linux build to focus on supporting Proton

Some older games with native builds I play via Proton because distro updates made native unplayable/broken or some visual effects are only available via Proton.

"We apologize for any [inconvenience] and recommend switching to play on other available platforms not supporting us as we don't support you." FTFY

I never heard of this game before now. If you're going to go out of your way to make sure your product doesn't work on Linux—an asshole move AFAIC—and releasing a tone-deaf PR announcement, I can't find myself doing anything but ignoring your studio. I'd be more upset had I paid anything into this, as [we know] has been the case with other asshole publishers (ie; EA).

"…need Windows…" hard pass on that. It was looking great up until that. I figure at least the non-addressable buttons could be fixed with a firmware update… maybe.
