Quoting: Sir_DiealotWINE has always been about getting existing games to run and there is a huge catalog of over 20 years of Windows games out there. The only "funny" part is that people are constantly whining about the latest AAA game not working while there are thousands of games out there that do work just fine. Steamplay really doesn't change anything in that regard.
I've been using WINE for over a decade and I still don't know how to configure it for each and every game in my personal library. Games simply don't always work with it.

Play-On-Linux added some needed autoconfiguration through install scripts made by others, but I still can't get everything I need to run through it, nor can I easily figure out how to alter such a script and/or submit improvements to them.

Steam Play so far has been a far easier experience for me, and I have even managed to run Port Royale through it (which is NOT in the Steam library but had to be added by me), which I have been unable to do through WINE or POL.

In my personal humble opinion, that puts Proton/Steam Play firmly ahead of WINE and POL.
You tried lutris its more user friendly than pol and the script runs everything you merely need to say whether you want to use dxvk or not

Quoting: razing32Kind of sad GOG is taking a hit.
The gaming market is hitting the same issue as online streaming.

Movie streaming replaced TV but then so many streaming services showed up that it became just like TV.
These online games stores are going in the same direction.
We had Steam and GOG. And all games were easy to get on one of two platforms.
Now the stores are multiplying and exclusives are forcing people to choose or end up with a miriad of accounts.
Could be worse if you lived in the UK you have to pay the government to own a tv in your home every year and youtube counts as tv it didnt originally but it does now because it can be watched live. But yeah it is true the exclusive shows is the only way to get you stay and in some cases you end up paying nearly as much as cable/sky to make sure you dont miss anything.
