Wolfire Games filed a lawsuit against Valve over abuse of their market position

Wolfire Games?
I'm way too disappointed to what humble bundle became to give them any credit. I mean, Valve is indeed a huge thing, but at least they still invest time and energy to cool things, helping both dev with nice tools and users with cool features (steam link, steam remote play, ...) and they try to raise Linux to be a viable gaming platform.
I used to love humble bundle over Steam, and I used to buy all my games there. But then they decided to aim only for money and dropped one by one the nice ideas that brought them success.
Less quality bundles, no more super video announcer for humble bundles (I used to be so excited from it!), no more multi platform, no more indie, and recently, lowering users choice for where their money go.

I feel now that my money should rather go to Valve than to them for sure.

Oh great… I had a friend on Windows who told me about Nvidia RTX cards that run a neural network to suppress noise, and then I found a lib made by Mozilla to do the same thing and was planning to develop a pulseaudio plugin to use it.
But this is exactly what has been done x)

Is the market so juicy on Linux about those kind of games? It feels like they port this kind more than any other, or is it just me?

Quoting: RickAndTired"early stage" he says, yet Proton already allows me to play so many great games effortlessly. I can't wait to see where it keeps going.
Any idea when they're going to update the "white list"?

protondb has a pretty long list of my games with a "Gold+" or "Platinum" rating, yet the "white list" for Proton hasn't been updated in quite a while...
and

Quoting: gojulAnyway a whitelist update would be great.
Why? What do you both need from the whitelist keeping in mind you can manually set Proton on any game now? The whitelist was originally from before they let us do that.
Are they not morally engaged as they white list a game? I would expect a white listed game to work, and if it doesn't, that they would kind of make it a priority to get it to work again.
On the other hand, for other games you are on your own in theory. That's what I have been thinking about it.

I still prefere that they focus on performance and compatibility in general though

Quoting: gojulWait and see... many Linux promises were not actually followed with actual native ports.
Daedalic Entertainment is very Linux friendly, I love them! If they said it's going to be release on Linux, with all the games they have released on Linux already, you can be pretty much sure they will.
