Quoting: Whitewolfe80And that is great for them but as I stated Linux is not getting the ports anymore FACT, the reason for that am sure are many and varied however.

I'm not arguing that we do have the ports any more, I was very clearly saying we don't and giving the real reason why. It feels like my post just didn't sink in...Proton was not the reason, because it happened long before it. Market share is the reason, it's the same as always.

Feral and Aspyr began to port less way before Proton, it's not the reason. Feral, like Aspyr, only got involved because of Steam Machines/SteamOS. They said so in our interviews ( Aspyr, Feral ), so it's not me speculating on that. The tail end of that has basically happened now with neither succeeding, market share didn't come with it and so the much bigger costly and time consuming ports for Linux just often don't make sense for them now. When you look at both of them, they've expanded greatly as I already said into mobile and Switch.

Quoting: gojulLooks that Feral has forgotten us, sadly. :-(

Most of their stuff has been Switch and Mobile lately. Apart from TROY, which ended up Epic exclusive for a year.

Quoting: nepoLiam, are you sure with Strange Brigade and Rock of Ages 3: Make & Break?
Both are playable with the Pro Subscription for me.

Yeah my bad, mixed up the wording there. Adjusted.

I'll also argue against the DLC stuff again as well. Stellaris is one of my most played games, largely because they continually update it and bring out expansions. When you think about just how many games I get sent to try out, that really does say something.

Quoting: minkiuSo I've been playing DRAG which is hard (just going thorugh the first challenge) and was planning on playing Dead Cells but for some reason the game doesn't fully detect the Steam controller and I inadvertently removed my saved game so I didn't even start 😂

In Steam's controller settings, set Desktop configuration to gamepad. It fixes it for everyone I've told. For some reason, whatever tech Dead Cells uses butts heads with Steam Input.

Quoting: PalancaDoes anyone know when a new version of Proton will be available? :grin:

Nope, there's no public roadmap and Valve don't usually share future info.

Added a note about there being no bloat, which the Fedora team mentioned in the original announcement, to hopefully help clear up any issues there.

Quoting: t3gI've been gaming on Linux since 2014

How long you've been doing doesn't really mean anything. Things change all the time, nothing is set on stone. I've been running GOL for 10 years, but running and gaming on Linux for longer. Does that mean what I say holds more value or what I say/think is what will happen? God no.

Quoting: t3gProton is the future of gaming on the platform

Proton is a stepping stone, not the future and not the future people should want either. For a lot of the reasons mirv outlined in his comment. To add into that though, it really does just push Windows development practises further and developers don't need to care about Vulkan either for it. It does nothing but keep us in a catch up loop.

Quoting: t3gOff the top of my head, Dying Light, Life is Strange, and Metro 2033 now run better in Proton vs their native versions.

We're talking about games released before Proton, some like a good 4 years. This is why I often find these comparisons completely ridiculous, as you're comparing things made multiple years ago with what they had at the time versus Vulkan. It's a valid comparison on how things are now and can be, but not on "why" Proton, because as we've seen plenty of times Linux versions can perform perfectly well and as a result developers get more experience, more cross-platform support in their games and engines and so on...you get the idea.
