omg, i read it wrong, its frozenbyte not frost byte...
i was wondering why the artcile used the name of the engine instead of the company, never mind...

Feral no longer porting A Total War Saga: TROY to Linux, citing less demand since Proton

predictable.
now everything is on deck, its will be a big sucess, no questionsa bout it, the pre sale numbers already showed this (110k / 90 minutes, roughly 1 million a day maybe more) the question is:
will deck users install windows on it? or not?
if they do, then we will rely on proton forever to get more games, if they dont, then we finally can break the curse, the chicken and egg problem.

valve is puting the eggs out there, now we just need the chicken.
or its the opposite?

"Hello! I am Joshua Ashton and I like frogs. 🐸 I also work on DXVK, VKD3D-Proton and other graphics related stuff."
that frog reminds me of something


and that randomness reminds me of my self for some reason.

"but I will do the odd cleanup, issue investigation or feature implementation"
i'm impressed with my self for understanding what he means.

"I like that I get to work on a lot of different things, from DXVK and VKD3D-Proton, Vulkan Spec work, RADV, the back catalogue games and more -- I have a lot of trouble just working on one thing for a long time having the ability to move around helps me a lot."
looks like the industry has an place for people with TDAH like me

"If I was handed the game ported without ToGL, then in theory it would actually be easier in the end as DXVK Native is entirely drop-in and it just works, as it doesn’t require any of these workarounds."
that explain why valve gave up on convincing developers to do the half baked , semi native semi emulation port that they were using.
to just rely on proton instead.

I guess I found the wrong video, but still quite interesting:
Valve Steam Deck Spec Analysis: Can It Really Handle AAA PC Gaming? [External Link]
("Proton really needs to deliver!")
yes, wrong video, the video that i saw had ~1 hour, but just an small part of it was performance test

i wonder what they mean by run...
run without all the features (cutscenes from guilty gear, sound effects from trackmania etc) count as run? because according to protonDB it count, i hope they arent taking this site serious and they are doing some serious QA with an version of proton that isnt avaliable yet for public consumption (but i dont know what they would do that, maybe to caught microsoft by surprised and not let then have any time to react? wishfull thinking)

You already had that with PS4 and PS5. Wish you luck with games for BSD on PCs, but you'd need something like Amazon throwing all their might behind it, I fear.
it was an joke.

but couting ps4 is not much different from counting stadia, nes mini, playstation classic, sega Lindbergh arcades, sega game gear, as linux devices.

speaking of it, look how many devices we have!
all those mentioned above, android, atari vcs, steam deck.
and in the past sony officialy supported linux on ps2 and ps3
