Ooh, ooh, I like this game!

Let’s see… hm… surely we disapprove when there is a genocide happening in the Mediterranean? Let’s block all payments with links to a certain state… while we’re at it: let’s add a certain religion, too. It’s the moral thing to do!

Who’s next? Hmmmmm… oh, I don’t like an orange man living in a white house (the blue man living in a blue house is fine, for now). We shall block any payments with any links to the United States. That shall do it!

It feels so good to fight against immoral and infidel people. It is a moral war… nah… holy war!

Personally, I think: why pay for games anyway??? Just go to the high seas…

I believe to see a very slight acceleration after the release of the OLED version on the graph. And
I believe to foresee a higher acceleration after the release of the Steam Deck 2. :woot:

@mi1stormilst: I have a very similar (opinionated) belief. Although it clashes on a regular basis with the reality that seemingly everyone has this one special-need software that only runs on Windows. Sometimes I really do wonder where people go dig up this obscure stuff...

@Purple Library Guy: Impressive! Although I am also interested in a comparison Sep 2018 - Mar 2022, Mar 2022 - release of OLED model, release of OLED model - now. Could you do this, please?
I know I come off as a lazy bum who is trying to load off the thinking stuff on other people, but I sincerely lack the brain juice at the moment.thanksbye

edit: added pls :cry:
CRSED: Cuisine Royale devs confirm end of Linux / Steam Deck support

@tfk Did you ignore the developer? I can only ignore the publisher Gaijin as the developers Darkflow Software and Matter Team don't seem to have a steam page.

Is this one one of the cases where setting 'steamdeck=1 %command%' doesn't help?

There was another obvious fix available from the beginning. Not running Windows.
Windows turned out to be a very effective virus on Linux systems...
Search engines are getting worse, so OpenWebSearch funded by the European Union want to fix it

The search engine will need a name more catchy than 'open web search' zzZ

This is the average experience for most people, and it's somehow fine by them.
I'm repeatedly flabbergasted by the amount of abuse people around me will put up with.
Europa Universalis V from Paradox will only support Windows, no Linux or macOS this time

The goal of Proton is not to shift more developers to native Linux ports. It is to move more consumers (i.e. gamers) from Windows to Linux. A side-effect absolutely is that 'Linux support' means 'it runs on Proton'.
The question is: what if Proton ever succeeds in bringing a critical mass of gamers to Linux? Then suddenly it will make sense for developers to support Linux natively. One can dream...
