Cudos to the Lutirs-Team and GL in grabbing all the money they can from Epic.
But i deeply hope, that no one will consider supporting this company/store, that is trying to establish forced exclusives in the PC market and make everything worse for the customers...

Would be nice if this lead to disabling the annoying geoblock for us germans (not regarding price but censorship)

I really don't get why not more people are buying there. Especially when most of the games include a steam-key, so missing features of the client don't really count...i ALWAYS look if a game is availiabe on itch...

Quoting: legluondunetFor Gog users, Lutris is now the "Gog Galaxy" client for Linux, just click install, for a Windows or Linux native game, and play. Lutris scripts system are very powerful to do more than just install a game: you can even install patch, write config file, download and install third party components, activate DXVK or override DLL... A must to have for Linux gamers.

i Like the Idea of it, but if i Import one of my GoG-Games, nothing happens...or am i missing something? ^^
For the rest of Lutris, you are absolutely right, it really set a new level of convenience to using wine.
Installed WoW again for the free Weekend - and it now really is less of a hazzle than on windows, as you don't have to go to the website anymore to download the client xD

I really don't get why they don't just make proton support official if it already runs perfectly...valve even covers the support, so the only thing they have to do is make sure patches don't break proton and collect my money...

Really enjoyed it on the free weekend and would instantly buy it - but not if it can stop working anytime due to not being offical...

Quoting: LinuxwarperI think Epic holding Valve back would be bad pr for them. They are already disliked for their anti consumer practices. If they work against Valve they will, hopefully, get much more backlash from PC community.
Valve could, and rightfully so, rub salt into wound that is Epic Store by pointing out how the company has ported Fortnite for so many platforms but neglected Linux, and now they are even stopping progress to make games available for the platform.
It would be disgusting if that actually happens.

it's not like EPIC cared to much about PR in the past weeks/months ;)
But let's hope their neglect of linux is just shortsighted and lazy instead of ill-minded

Quoting: TermyWith this Star Citizen can be installed and played with vanilla wine and has really decent FPS with DXVK - who had thought something like that would happen just a few years ago ^^

I can finally play it!? Woohoo!

It was playable for a while, but in the beginning you had to copy over a installation from windows because the installer didn't work with wine, then there was a regression in 3.20 (so installting on >3.20, playing with <3.20 for the FPS), but now all came together thanks to the work of some really smart people :D
You should check the "Linux User Group" Org, if you're in the verse ;)

I'm kind of baffled that Epic is allowing collaboration with Valve ^^
Glad to hear this though :D

Quoting: EhvisThat's simply not possible. Even VMs running a legitimate copy of Windows can be detected. There is software on Windows that simply refuses to run in a VM.

As far as i know that is mainly down to Hardware-IDs.
I know of a few examples that check for the CPU-ID and block accordingly. If you "fake" your KVM to a "real" CPU-ID it works flawlessly.

For the rest, i completely agree with you. It is a real shame that some devs won't even go through the miniscule effort to make sure their DRM/AntiCheat won't block wine/proton after it is reported to them. Devs with this attitude don't deserve our money for sure.
