Quoting: ShabbyXThe irony is that we are Linux gamers/users who frequently get ignored, and we do point that out on every website in the hope of improving the situation, and they also do sometimes say "well just stop reading this". It's the same thing really with proton vs native.

I think I've already made my point. Some people choose to comment specifically on articles they're not interested in, to argue about native vs Proton and argue about us covering titles in Proton. It does need to stop.

Quoting: ShabbyXAlso, no offense, and I do hope you try and take this feedback positiviely Liam, but try and be less defensive about critism; it's what makes us better.

I'm not being "defensive", I'm attempting to make things clear about what is and isn't acceptable.

Anyway, Proton coverage will continue because that is Linux gaming and it's the biggest thing we have going right now next to the Steam Deck. If all people want is "native or nothing", they really should go elsewhere. I don't want to have to keep going over this.

Quoting: Comandante ÑoñardoImagine being a proud owner of an SteamDeck and, after hitting "play" to That game, You only see this:

That wouldn't get Deck Verified though.

Quoting: Liam DaweNot sure what your issue is. Nothing I have said is in any way unpleasant. The point is that this is a recurring thing. People read Steam Play articles they're clearly not interested in, comment about it and....for what? Just ignore them if you don't like them.

The issue is despite being a brilliant author and a great Linux gaming advocate, you seem to complain whenever there's a comment which states dissatisfaction even in a way without attacking any one. I am sad to see new Croteam titles do not get native support and there is a GoL article about the latest game. Should I keep it shut or go to Steam Forums to ask for native version only to be ignored or receive "bUy wInDoWs lOl" replies? If I cannot state my dissatisfaction about a game whose series historically support Linux in GoL, where can I? I am really troubled here, if anything, my comment contains no attack increases traffic to your website..

Everyone has a right to complain of course, and we do welcome opposing opinions as well as long as people remain respectful. The issue really, I guess, is how historically people just came to the comments to moan about us covering a game in Proton which happened quite a lot before (which really did irritate me).

In this case though, I agree now it's a bit different given they did previously support Linux.

Fact is though, Proton is here to stay, especially with the Steam Deck and we will continue to cover all aspects of playing games on Linux :)

Quoting: Liam DaweIstead of commenting this type of thing constantly - why not skip over Steam Play articles? Or even better, block the tag in your settings here so we don't have to keep reading it?

Such a nice way to treat the people who have shared hundreds of articles of your site on Reddit for years. Oh, not to mention there was no attack on the devs or anyone in those comments. I guess we are not even allow to say that. Sigh... Thank you.

Quoting: mr-victoryWhy is GamerOS listed among distribution list? Isn't it changed to ChimeraOS?

As no one notified me it wasn't changed. Done.

Quoting: Guesthmm, nope I won't be buying it because of lack of Linux support, same went for SS4 :(

Quoting: rea987Without a proper native port I'll pass. So many good native games to play.

Quoting: scaineSo is this the whole "Soldier", "Scout" thing that you sometimes see talk of? The "Steam Linux Runtime" that you occasionally see downloading? I just assumed it was a background process that Steam needed (as a client) to run.

There are a few different versions of the runtime now yes, and Valve names them like Soldier, Scout, Heavy etc.

Quoting: lectrodeOut of curiosity, regarding the Desktop "Window Manager Only":

• 1) what software does that cover?


• 2) Why would those be put into a single bucket vs having an option for each one like the rest?


• 3) With that now being in 3rd place, does it make sense to split it up into the individual options?

It's been so long I don't remember the reasoning exactly. I believe some people don't use an actual "desktop environment" like Xfce, KDE, GNOME Shell etc but use some sort of special window manager directly like i3 or something else. We probably need to do something better with that to be clearer. Open to suggestions.

That issue is now fixed. Somehow the cron got mixed up, and there we two entries for November. I've adjusted one to be October, as it was right at the start of November (so it should have been October's data). All looking good now.

Quoting: lucinosIt seems there is a BUG with trends about december.

December data do not exist when you are looking the trends. I hope this will be fixed and data won't be lost.

It uses the same data as the initial page. I'll take a look and see during the week why it's not there.
