Bugs that affect many titles is one of the fun parts of a translation layer like Proton, even a small change can potentially affect hundreds of games.

i think the same goes for any windows update, wich means either microsoft dont change many things or they break many things and dont care or they do a really good job at making sure things still work

each day that passes, gaming dependence on windows shrink, hopefully faster than it increase...

i mean, steam receive more games per day than they are able to certify for steam deck (they cant even test then fast enough, the speed that the number of verfied,playable and unsuported list grow is slower than the speed that the number of games grow)
that said i dont think we get tons of new stores everyday, but today a lot of stores became easier to install on linux. (or the day that app was made)

Quoting: tuubi

Quoting: elmapul

Quoting: pb> Why now though?

Perhaps they want to prevent Dolphin from being discovered and easily available for the SteamDeck crowd?

maybe they want to re-relase some of those games on switch , that will attract atention to many games that people forgoten about and they dont want those same people to know about any easy way to play then for free...

The thing is, it's not "for free". If you bought the old game, you've already paid for it. Essentially Nintendo is fighting tooth and nail to prevent their customers from playing games they've bought, and that's not a good look.

You can try to make this about piracy again but that's a whole different discussion, and not really an excuse when the paying customers get equally shafted in the process.

im not talking about people who own the game and cant play anymore.
if the consoles break with the time, that is a different discussion and in that case i agree they should have the right to play anyway.

Quoting: Pengling

Quoting: elmapuland least but not least: japan loves nintendo, unlike here were a lot of people are starting to hate nintendo or already do, in japan the love for nintendo may be ubiquitous or almost that.

Unusually, as far as I'm aware, even users in Japan have complained about the build-quality problems of the Switch and its infamous controllers that break just from looking at them funny. :tongue:

maybe nintendo used quantum controllers, they break by just looking at then

i hate to say that but valve probably dont want trouble with nintendo.

think about it for am moment:
Sony lost an similiar case meaning emulation is legal, so legally speaking they are probably in their rights to allow such software to be published in their platform, its not an ilegal tool.
but even then , we dont know what sort of arguments their lawyers can find, what kind of interpretation they can do and we cant guarantee that valve will win world wide, maybe nintendo can win even being wrong and valve can be force to pay... bilions?
even if valve win, they wont be making money from selling this software and its not like people cant find how to install on steamOS by thenselves, its not a big loss.
and least but not least: japan loves nintendo, unlike here were a lot of people are starting to hate nintendo or already do, in japan the love for nintendo may be ubiquitous or almost that.

if the news spread in japan that valve and nintendo are not just rivals but "mortal enemies" that valve was involved in an piracy schandanl of nintendo products...
their reputation there might be tarned especially with people who dont know then yet.
"Poisoning the well " as they say.

its a lose lose situation, either valve lose and have to remove the emulator/pay nintendo.
or they lose their reputation in an important region.
now that we are speaking about that... maybe they can improve it elsewhere by fighting an fight that many people arround the world want someone to fight, but no one is doing...
but im not sure if that would increase the sales.
