Quoting: kusochiThat is not the EA I know! Has EA released any other of their old games under GPL?
It still can be. Guy from EA who is behind C&C remaster project love C@C and is passionate about it. He bring Petroglyph games (former Westwood guys) into it. So i think, big part of this is really this one guy, not EA as a whole.

So, similar to Timothee Besset from id?
If it wasn't for this guy id software most likely hadn't released any Linux builds.
It seems likely. Community around C&C helped with remaster in some degree, so this can be the one guy repaying to community. But it's only my opinion.

Valve drops support for SteamVR on macOS to focus on Linux & Windows

Quoting: CreakI am mostly worried about the reason why they dropped VR for an entire platform that has more users than Linux's. Obviously, financially, it makes little sense.

We can speculate as much as we want, we don't know the facts behind this choice. It is nice to see they chose Linux over MacOS, but why? Put in another, more positive way: why Linux won over MacOS?

Finally, this kind of decision may bite Valve back because it opens the door to a competitor that would support all three platforms.

It is all very hypothetical, that is why a rational of this decision would have been nice.
From my point of view reason is clear. Look on Steam hw Survey mac's graphics cards. Only minority has something dedicated plus only metal as graphic API, there is no chance that it can support VR games for majority mac gamers in near future.

What Proton version and settings do you use to get Ashes of the Singularity running? Nvidia or AMD video card?
Proton 4.2-9 with AMD NAVI and DirectX 11 renderer. Without esync and with ACO. Right now, i don't have any issues with it.
Thank you! Works for me as well. Finally I can start playing it :)
Glad to read :-) Originally i Used 3.x, but after i tried build my own proton for bisect which commit break it, ended with this version. Sad part is, i don't know much about wine and don't know how force him specific version of mono, so i had steam proton 4.11, with wine 4.2 which try download mono and after that ended with error :-(
