Quoting: GuestMMO = instantly dead for so many reasons, like them shutting down their servers and killing the game, and the fact this game won't be very popular.For how the game works, it doesn't need a large player-base or for players to be on at the same time. That's what makes it so interesting.
If they allowed hosting your own server, things would be a lot better, but still perilous if the gameplay demanded a high player count.

Quoting: RoosterValve should really implement this into Steam itself. I'm no expert, but it seems to me that it would be quite easy to do.Implement what though? Steam Play as a system already accepts anything else you add into it. Steam also looks in system-wide install locations, so you can have a repository setup for updates to any external tools but none of that is up to Valve to do.

Quoting: BielFPsI'm probably the only guy on earth who can't install Proton GE, for some reason my Steam never detect the plugin.As I said to another in Discord, are you sure you've not previously downloaded the pre-release builds by mistake? They're not fully built and need you to do so, the release builds (like this) are fully functional and only need you to drop the folder in the right place.

Quoting: appetrosyanI can add it, sure, we all know that Wine is not the reason they did this though.Quoting: Liam DaweI've updated santa's naughty list.Liam, would you let us also add the quoted reason for removal? I'm really curious how many times was "viable alternatives" mentioned in dropping support...

Quoting: ShmerlHow does it work exactly now? Is it only showing something to users themselves when data is missing?It was only ever meant to display in the article to the user, it's fluff info others do not need to see.
