Quoting: jensThe option "Use this tool instead of game specific selections from Steam" in the Steam Play options hints that certain games will be bound to a certain Proton version. This could reduce the chance of breakage with newer Wine/Proton version.
Yes. Each Whitelisted game is tied to an specific Proton version.
See the "Tool" column.

Erik Wolpaw, one of the writers of Portal and Half-Life: 2 episodes seems to have returned to Valve

Calm down!
I think We, the gamers, are giving over reacted credit to the Half Life or Portal franchises.
They were (and they are) entertaining games, with a good background story and a good gameplay, being Portal much more innovative than HalfLife, because it wasn't a killkillkill game.

The only reason why this super ultra hype for HL3 exist is just because the previous game ended with a cliffhanger, a "to be continued", like a TV series..
(I don't know You, but when I watch a Tv series or a movie trilogy, I prefer to do it in a "marathon" way)

HL3 and Portal 3 will come, yeah, but don't expect master pieces of the videogame art..
Don't expect a "before and after" in the story of the videogames.. Don't expect a cultural revolution.. Don't expect a change in the humankind....
Just expect very entertaining games with exactly the same mute floating lens and the same playability, but with better graphics.

Is just me, or the G-Man from Half Life and The Outsider from Dishonored are the same concept?
I haven't played The Death of the Outsider, so don't spoil me.

To bad Valve doesn't fund it... Black Mesa needs multi language VO like the original game.

I wonder if Metro Exodus will be available.

Epic Games have confirmed a Linux version of their store is not on the roadmap

Quoting: iiari
Quoting: Comandante ÑoñardoI thing Valve should split in two: One store for big games and another for Indies....
That is what I do for my accounts.
That a tough one. Where do you draw that line?
This is very subjective for me.
An Indie game is a low budget game... most of them self published.. barely with English audio and , if We are lucky, subtitles in other languages.

Big games, unlike indies, have big budget, so they have audio in various languages, very good 3d models (depends on the game), good production, availability in several platforms and a lot advertising.

But There are few games in the middle...
Example, Killing Floor 2 in an indie game, but it has audio in several languages like an AAA.
The Witcher is an indie game but with an AAA production, it has several audio languages, except Spanish...
Spoiler, click me
C'mon, CD projekt! There are 20 countries that speak Spanish!
I live in Argentina, so a game without Spanish audio is not an AAA for me.

Quoting: pbI love Valve and Steam as much as the next guy, but I'm increasingly annoyed by all the crap games flooding the store, to the point I'm considering stopping browsing it altogether. For people that don't have time for shovelling through trash, a curated store could be a great place to move to, let's see if Epic realises this opportunity.
