Quoting: williamjcmThe reason the third-party sale numbers increased by that much is because they now include VAT, while previous years didn't include it to my knowledge.That makes no sense, where in the world do we have 57% VAT?

Until they revert that. I would recommend to anyone, not to spend a dime on such online games. You never know when they will pull the rug.

Valve makes a big improvement for Native Linux games in a Steam Beta update

One could argue that the filter should only show native games, but that is a different topic. The functionality has not changed.

Quoting: PhlebiacI was going to say: "just use the little penguin icon to filter" to "Show only games that run on Linux" as the tooltip says. But... it looks like they broke that? Perhaps related to what you are complaining about.It's not broken, if you know what it actually does. It does not filter native games, it filters games playable on Linux. And if you have Proton for all titles enabled, then it shows you all games. The tooltip also gives it away, which says "Show only games that run on Linux".

After what R* did with GTAV, I will not buy any of their games anymore. You can never know if they will prevent you from playing a Single Player game.
The 1.0 release for 7 Days to Die is finally here

But if they are already unable to get Vulkan working, they should enable EAC for Proton, so we can actually play the game with a proper performance.

Quoting: AllocThe Vulkan renderer in 7D2D is unusable on AMD (RADV) at all. Unless you like to have your VRAM (16GB!) filled in minutes and play then at staggering 12 FPS. I never understood why the Guys at funpimp are unable to get the Vulkan renderer to work properly, other Unity devs manage to get it working fine. But now that it is 1.0, I have no confidence that it will ever work properly in this game. Sad, very sad.but they still have a note that the Vulkan version isn't fully supportedYeah, I should probably remove that text by now :D

Quoting: GuestTo their credit, they actually removed DRM, unlike most. Positively neutral praise!Denuvo gets removed from all games eventually, as it is a subscription model. At some point they won't make enough money on the Stores anymore, to satisfy the high subscription prices of Denuvo. Which is the only real positive part about Denuvo.

Quoting: F.Ultraexit: just checked the source of wine, proton and vkd3d and there is no implementation of the DirectStorage API whatsoever.Haven't said they've implemented it, but that it works. I asked some of the Proton Devs if it works and they said:
should work fine, Direct Storage has a compute shader based fallback for drivers that dont implement the relevant MetaCommands
