you are not mentioning the most interesting aspect. D3D11's Stream Output, now games like Giana sisters and etc will work.

Btw, sad to see they dropped mac support with this release

Quoting: GuestObviously, the list is monumentally short compared to DX11 games, but (aside from P-L.G's tweet [External Link]) is there anyone showing this working on a DX12 release title? I know I have at least two (maybe three) titles I can try this—Oops! Nevermind. In pure (non-Proton) Wine, make that five! ;)

It's the Wikipedia, feel free to add it again

I played The Witness, it works great on Linux, and behaves in the same way than on W10. Only issue is that there is a bit of performance penalty which I would like if it were fixed in future releases.

Also other small games, like gta2 works excellent and etc.

I tough he wasn't porting games anymore, since he was focused on SDL2 and stuff.

So after this basically all games (except games with weird drm) will work.

we need valve to release new compatible proton games

Quoting: WendigoValve did a really clever move here to force game developers into cross platform development. Publishers will now have to make sure that their games run on all platforms Steam supports, no matter if they intend it to run there or not since the games were made available everywhere. Even though players get a notice when starting a game via proton I guess quite a few will still down vote a game that doesn't run on Linux or OSX, so the Publishers have 3 choices:

1) Do nothing and get a bad rating that affects their future sales of the game.
2) Make sure their game runs with Proton on all operating systems that Steam supports and hope that a future change in Proton doesn't break the game.
3) Do a proper cross platform port or develop future games with cross platform in mind and have control over the game's performance on Linux and OSX.

I guess the third option is the best choice.

that sounds like a dick move from valve

Quoting: NatedawgI think this is great news!

I can see this discouraging some developers from making a Linux port, but these developers will likely be the same ones who are on the fence about making a Linux port anyway. The ones who have been natively supporting us will likely continue to do so.

Knowing the Linux community, I 'm pretty sure we will still make it a top priority to support publishers like Feral / Aspyr / etc.

but now there is no reason to not buy a game because it doesnt have a linux version, feral business model is in danger.
We will see how things goes.
