Steam Officially Starts Allowing Paid Mods In The Workshop, People Are Upset

My statement, 75% to Valve, seems wrong according to my own link, where they state that 25% goes to the modder (which is by far not enough) and the rest would be shared between the makers of the game and Valve.

Quoting: evergreenthis port would bring mass of people to linux!

Erm...

BTW, when Steam for Linux went public, we had 2% of Linux users, now it's 1. :-(

Quoting: fishxzi hope its not. the performance in bioshock was terrible compared to windows. i refuse such "ports"!
what? the performance is amazing for a wrapper.
Yes, the performance is amazing - for a wrapper.

Quoting: mr-eggat this point Eon is so good that im not bothered if older pre 2014 titles are ported using a wrapper. It gets the games over and as people have more and more GPU power to spare the 10 - 15fps difference isn’t noticeable on all but the most extreme 4k setups where every fps counts
Yes, Eon is so good that old games can be wrapped with it so we get a chance to play them at all. Games older than Bishock probably will run fine on average modern hardware.

But...

On my GTX660, Bishock Infinite has got breaks of say half a second when loading new parts of a scene I'm walking through, which breaks immersion for me. I did try the tips of the 2K, to no avail. It did much better on the very same PC when I still used Windows.

Such wrappers must not become the standard way of "porting" games to Linux.

Might "Tools" mean something bad? Like, it's only about a server or something?
