I'll leave what's up with this note: coming to articles you're not interested in, to tell people you're not interested and just...yeah, how about we just don't do that? Let's try and attempt to stay on topic for articles.

Quoting: GuestBuy from Valve, support Valve! They are the ones that deserve our support!

With that as the first comment, I do believe I'm about 2 steps away from leaving the entire community for good.

And miss out on all the fanboyisming? ;)

Jokes aside, I get where the OC is coming from because Valve are clearly the only store company to actually put resources into Linux. However, the situation isn't as black and white as people always make it out to be. GOG as a company, as we reported, aren't exactly doing well, and so spending out on a niche market like ours is obviously not going to be their focus.

I do hope eventually though that GOG pulls through, so they can expand their efforts. They clearly do still have a lot of fans and we definitely don't want to end up with a single store propping everything up. Multiple stores has many benefits, even if your #1 is Steam. As we all know, competition is healthy :)

Quoting: whizse

Quoting: pete910Only 10.5k to go to get all of steams library done :whistle:

...and then do it all over again whenever there's a new major release of Proton.

Well, they shouldn't need to. New Proton versions shouldn't break any games, at all, as each update is supposed to be expanding and improving the translation. The reality is different of course but the other side is also that games can be set to specific Proton versions so they will likely do that for a number of games. It *should* technically get to a point where breakage isn't an issue, and if it is there will be a point where breakage in Proton / Wine is breakage on Windows. There's a lot of points to think on.

Quoting: Alm888It is just that GOG, being GOG, failed to add the Linux logo. Again.

Just GOG Things.

Quoting: gradyvuckovicSeriously, people, stop funding kickstarters. Just stop doing it. It's even worse than pre ordering a game. There have been maybe a handful of game kickstarter projects that haven't ended up producing a completely rubbish outcome.

I don't quite agree here, as a few bad apples don't ruin an entire crop. The reality is that Kickstarter and crowdfunding in general has given us a lot of good games (and our list is far from complete).

Quoting: dziadulewicz

Quoting: whizsedon't buy it and leave it."

What does this mean? :huh:

Don't buy it from Windows or a web browser, and then not install and play it for months or weeks. Buy it, play it on Linux.

Quoting: scaineSo, the negativity and constant haranguing on the subject (or nearly any subject) is a problem. A lot of it comes down to tone as well. There's a big difference between the occasional "I'd love if this got a native release" and a constant barrage of "no tux, no bux".

Only just saw these comments and yup, that's what it boils down to. See no problem with the initial comments here.

Quoting: Mountain Man

Quoting: denyasisI know it's trendy in certian circles to use that language, complete with that spelling and phrasing, but....

Maybe I'm just becoming a grumpy old person.

I think anybody who has lost someone close to them because of cancer can certainly relate to the phrasing.

I have a close family member who has Stage 4 Cancer.

Fuck Cancer. Fuck it hard.

Quoting: NanobangAny word on how well the multiplayer works, especially the cross-platform multiplayer?

It appears there are some co-op issues, with it possibly crashing https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/5542 [External Link] however the first comment notes it worked fine on a specific Proton version so it's a bit odd.

That said, Techland did note that there were some issues overall with multiplayer too even on Windows. https://twitter.com/DyingLightGame/status/1489607307164106758?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw [External Link]

Dear gamers, thank you for your feedback. Two things on the top of our list: disconnects in co-op mode and problems with redeeming awards, codes, and other in-game content, including Twitch Drops from TechlandGG. Our team is on it. We will update you on the progress.

Quoting: prosoorI only want to post my opinion on the title because this game works well on Proton on Linux, not on Linux natively.
The game is not ported to Linux.

No where does it say it has been. Proton is Linux gaming. Let's not have this again.
