I also bounced off this. It was okay and I liked the style and setting, but I'd have preferred if it was a lot shorter.

Respawn now properly looking into Apex Legends bans on Linux & Steam Deck

After reading the original story, I tried to get banned by doing things like changing Proton version, adding reshade, changing driver versions, but nothing so far. I wonder what the exact conditions are that would trigger a false positive.

Yeaaaah, Unity. My company has been working on their game and while I have been testing it for them on Steam Deck due to me being the only person who has one, I have been reluctant to try talking them into doing a native Linux build because I know how it will perform.

After being removed from Steam, Betrayer is now free on GOG

Quoting: HamishI would not exactly call Betrayer that much of an Indie game though; it was designed by Craig Hubbard of Monolith Productions fame as well as whole bunch of other Monolith veterans.

Indie does not mean amateur. A lot of indie studios are packed with industry veterans.

Proton Experimental brings fixes for Gears 5, Overwatch 2, Phasmophobia

Quoting: CatKillerI got Gears 5 in a bundle with a bunch of games that I was much more interested in, so I wasn't bothered that it didn't work. If it works now I might give it a go at some point. It's a chonker download, though.

I had fun with it. As far as a game goes it's an average shooter, but the character writing is great.
