PAYDAY 2 devs to ensure it works with Proton on Linux and Steam Deck

we’ll keep testing new updates with Proton to make sure it keeps working for the upcoming patches and releases.
THIS is actually what i would expect from all devs if they don't want to maintain a native version.
With such an official statement, i'm perfectly fine in just using the proton version tbh ^^

Quoting: Loftybtw as a reminder don't forget you can further restrict flatpak's with flatseal
I really like Flatpak for exactly the reason that it makes sandboxing stuff (especially proprietary things like games, but of course other things, too) so easy and convenient.
BUT i would almost go as far as not saying 'you CAN further restrict' but to say 'you SHOULD look into flatseal (or the like).
It's not as common as some flatpak-critiques make it sound, but there are indeed more than enough apps that just request full access to the filesystem or the home directory - so checking and adjusting (at least!) file access after installation is almost a must in my eyes!

CodeWeavers partners of Valve on Proton move to an Employee Ownership Trust

In an ideal world, employee ownership would be the norm - so good luck to them!

NVIDIA announced the GeForce RTX 4060 series

So basically they are launching the more or less already obsolete one now, hope for enough stupid folks to buy that and release the one with enough memory to not be immediately obsolete a few months later to get the money of the slightly less stupid folks...
Oh Nvidia...

What a bullshit. It's really time for valve to introduce a way to roll back updates...

Immersion Corporation sues Valve over Steam Deck and Valve Index haptics tech

Skimming over the Patents, it's really absurd that stuff like that can even be patented...

And of course they wait two years to sue so that the 'damage' is worthwhile. Disgusting parasites...

Discord username system changing to make it easier to find people

Long overdue, i hate those #1234 naming conventions.
I just hope 'in app notification' will also work if you only access it via browser?

I really would love to through more money towards them. But not with that attitude towards Linux...

Proton 8.0-2 out for Linux / Steam Deck fixing the EA app (yes, again)

Just another affirmation that my boycott of games ridden by additional launchers with no use other than annoy the customer is the only right way. With EA there is at least somehow that the braindead aren't in complete control, as some games have come out without this abomination, but it's still a shame that it is so prevalent...

STAR WARS Jedi: Survivor had a very rough launch

It's really laughable. And the official statement [External Link] is outright taunting the stupid sheeple that still preorder or buy day 1 without waiting for reviews.

But as long as there are enough of those people that just don't learn from history, EA has no reason to change anything...

Oh well, as it was said to require the stupid ea app bullshit, i wasn't gonna buy it anyways (although i really want to play it...), so at least it's no additional disappointment...
