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...

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...

Activision doesn't have it's own quasi-monopoly on the desktop that it could abuse to cripple competitors though ;)

Good thing!
If we don't need one thing, then it is a gaming-monoply in microsoft hands...even more so than it wouldn't be a good thing wiht any other comapny to have such an influence.

Quoting: GuestEsp with Microsoft, I think it's apparent they're in the Good Guy state right now for positive press and getting gamers to side with them,
And i'm shocked how many people fall for that and praise MS and the game pass...i hate the term 'sheeple', but it rarely fits better...

Meh...as jedi survivor will probably be crippled by that abomination of a useless extra launcher this update is...disappointing :(

About time - curseforge really is long dead because of their annoying ideas...

Grounded from Obsidian adds Steam Deck support in v1.2.0

Good to see. Hopefully it will eventually translate to desktop, too...Juggling different proton versions because that stupid xbox login didn't work in newer proton version always was annoying as heck.
