Yeah, it's Godot. Still, game engines only provide the base package for developers - easy porting does depend on how much custom stuff they all stick in.

I assume you mean Epic Games via Heroic, if so that would still use Proton, Epic doesn't carry Linux games.

The new survival game VEIN looks awesome with intelligent AI and interactions with nearly everything

Well, it's game AI, but I get it - generative AI has basically added poison to the term now. But what else should we call it? And should we have to rename things every time something comes along?

Do you have it installed as a Flatpak by any chance? If so you may need some permissions adjustments on it perhaps.

I imagine eventually they may just add a store filter like they've done for other things, but the situation is evolving constantly and their current messaging around it is not great. Developers adding all sorts of messages from "it's used specifically in this" to a vague "we may use it for background stuff" and everything in between. The whole situation is just problematic for everyone.

The problem isn't just the lack of oversight, it's the ethics of it. People losing jobs due to AI, all the AI generation being trained on the works of others without their consent. The list of issues goes on and on.

So yes, I really am going to reject various games due to it. If it's some "irrelevant corner", it's even stupider that they used AI gen. I believe I'll be just fine.

That didn't last long - Blue Protocol: Star Resonance anti-cheat causing problems on Linux

On Linux yes, it will only ever be user-space. Kernel-level always means how it is on Windows, and ACE is kernel-level.

BALL x PIT is out now and it's a brick-breaking ball-smashing great time

Yeah, bit of an odd comment. The direction of this game is incredibly clear. You go through rounds of brick breaking with your magical balls, then go back to do a little town building for extra resources and character unlocking. Repeat. I know some games really can be confusing, but I truly don't see how this can be.

It's got a really solid engine… I wish it were more popular than U-Stutter Engine
Well, Unreal Engine is free to use for all developers with the source available, the latest id tech is just their own.
