Not sure how this would work. Since they have and use Linux builds, the option to download the game would mean nothing to the vast majority of their users. And even for us, those exact Linux builds might not work at all.
i think he is afraid of cloud lock-in, so even an windows build is better than nothing

There's now over 6,000 Linux games on Steam plus thousands more playable with Steam Play Proton

protonDB is not realiable at all.
if it were, valve would already use it as reference.

people who vote on it, never played those games in other platforms to know if there are missing features.
i already quoted a few examples, guilty gear were missing cutscenes (op, extras, every video on the game and maybe some musics and sound effects), the only reason i know that is because i already played other games from this company and guesses something was missing since other games had an intro, then played it on windows/saw an gameplay on youtube and confirmed the missing feature.
i wonder what happens with games that use video as texture (ex: for fire), if people do realize that something is wrong and report it...

i wish i could try more games, but i'm broke, trying to make money with open source was not an good idea, now i dont have money for an new computer capable of running more games, nor to the games thenselves and with this global pandemic i will not have money so soon...

Quoting: Xaero_VincentOne big advantage I see with Stadia is that it has Red Dead Redemption 2, while GeForce Now doesn't and will probably never work in Wine due to how it uses both DirectX and Vulkan simultaneously.

hell! is that even possible?
