Quoting: legluondunetOnce again, a console game that are badly ported on PC.
I would like to buy it day one, but finally, after reading comments here and elsewhere, I will wait until they optimized the game.
I don't want to buy a game full price that is not optimized and buggy, PC gamers deserve as respect as console gamers.

I agree. I was waiting for this game also and was going to buy it on release if it worked with Linux.

Well.. it works with Linux. Terribly. But it also works terribly on Windows apparently, so that's fair.

In any case. I'll wait.

If you want to depress yourself:

Spoiler, click me

The number of users stranded by this move is currently bigger than the total number of Linux Steam users (1.43% + 0.34% + 0.09% = 1.86% vs 1.27%). Windows is super dominant.

Perhaps now is the time to enlighten those stranded users to our almighty lord Tux. :grin:

Quoting: rcritNot that I have a lot of sympathy for Windows users but dropping 7 is going to be hard pill to swallow for some. The 10/11 compatibility with some games is apparently pretty bad.

This is that moment, you sit back and notice: You have better "Windows games" compatibility on modern Linux than modern Windows. :huh:

That's not a new thing either, Wine has been pretty magic like that for a long time.

That's true :happy:

A few times, I've been happily playing an older game with wine, whether from GOG or Steam and got stuck on a level and thought "I'll go check the steam forums, see what other players did" (Yeah..) and notice a bunch of threads "Game doesn't work on Windows (insert version)" or "Game crashes after launching" or "Game can't work in full screen!" etc.

Meanwhile me: "Huh, I didn't get any of that, I just clicked play." :whistle:

I love the fact now that we are almost at a point where any game will "just work". So much progress, in so little time. It's awesome.

Quoting: ArehandoroI don't understand why is it called CS 2 when in reality it is just the same game but with a modern engine/physics/graphics...

I've never played Overwatch, but if it's the same case, I also don't understand it :)

Call of Duty, since Call of Duty 4.

According to the FAQ, the limited test will only be available on Windows. That's a little strange, I'd have thought Valve would use this game / opportunity to push the Steam Deck[1] and/or native Linux games.

I wonder if the final build will be proton only then?

[1] I'm aware most PC-based FPS players would pick a keyboard / mouse combo any day. However console gamers use gamepads all the time, so it's not as fetched as you may think.

This really wasn't there before? Did it get bugged or? It sounds pretty nuts if it is only just being added to Gnome 3+ versions? I figured it would have been put in years ago.

Quoting: KohriasFrom a privacy perspective it is quite scary to let Amazon have your gaming profile in addition to your real-life (shopping) data.

You think shopping profile and gaming profile is the only data they have on you? Don't be so naive :wink:

Quoting: sudoerWell done corp world... a container in a container. Unneccessary complexity for the sake of corp agendas. Does Proton even work with this.
