elements from different time periods, so you're dealing with both magic and machine here
I'm no historian so please educate me Liam: Magic was an element of which time period exactly? :P
Tired/ill and apparently not able to write properly. Have removed that entire bit.

Quoting: subWe will most likely see more and more devs dropping Linux support or not considering it right from the start.
You mean exactly like it was before Steam Play then?

Quoting: MohandevirOnline games have always been Linux's weak spot. It's seems that maintaining a build for Windows and Linux, when you constantly update the game is hardly justifiable when you fail to attract enough players (all platforms accounted).

Quite sure that they would have dropped Linux support even if Proton wasn't a thing. They just might have waited a little longer...

It's just sad that an early Linux adopter like UW is giving up on us...
Yup, as I said its a cost cutting exercise. Not as a result of Steam Play.

We began to lose a lot already when it became clear SteamOS/Steam Machines went nowhere. Remember our interview with Aspyr and Feral, both said they got involved due to it. We're still seeing the tail end of it.

No matter what though, thanks to the help on Steam Play we can still game on Linux more than ever before.

Quoting: rkfgI have a feeling that as SteamPlay becomes more and more reliable this situation will become common. I wonder what Valve would do if anything at all.
If it does and Valve do nothing it's going to seriously erode some trust.

Do we really need to turn this into a pissing competition, I would really love it if we could spend less time moderating and dealing with comment reports.

Be respectful to each other or be removed.

Valve have tweaked Steam's mighty algorithms and fixed some bugs with a new store update out

Okay, I can understand your point a little more now. However, given what they're talking about it was clear enough. They were just using a simple chart to make the point stand out tis all.

Quoting: geekeningthe bar doesnt show anything and without any labels other than +75% we dont know what to make of it
Well, I do. What's missing in your opinion and what would you make of it?
I'm not sure either how it was confusing. It was a pretty self explanatory chart given what it's all talking about. Either way I added a bit below it so it's 110% clear.
