The 'available for Windows only' warning was something that I depended on a great deal. It gives me the chance to make an informed decision on whether I'm running a native build or running a Windows build through Proton. Valve took that away from me. This puts Windows-only games on the exact same tier as a native game and there is absolutely no incentive for developers to maintain the native builds, which are already a very difficult ordeal for a lot of them. I predict that a lot of devs will be dropping their native builds in favor of going Windows only, and I'm going to have to inspect the files of them to verify whether it happened or not, because that 'available for Windows only' warning is no longer there.

Oh freaking heck. Proton Enabled by Default just means that there's no way to turn it off anymore. I had it turned off for the specific reason that I wanted to control which games without native Linux support would be allowed to run so that I don't make the mistake of running a game that lacks it without knowing full well that I am. Steam took that control away from me.

It's almost like they don't really care about native support at all and just want it to be obsolete.

This isn't going to replace my aging Steam Controller if it doesn't have the all-important Trackpads. This looks like, for all intents and purposes, an XBOX Controller with the Steam logo on it, with some extra doodads that I don't know that I care about, but without the stuff that I do know that I care about it. I'm going to pass on that.

Well, I'm mad about this. I bought this based on there being native support. They took that away. Also, there are plenty of people who have horrid performance on Proton, no matter which version they try. I, for one, don't even want to try. If they've been having problems with maintaining the Linux version under Unity, they obviously need help. But dropping it altogether without warning just isn't honest.

I'm sure every authoritarian government on Earth will be demanding access to these screenshots. And Microsoft will probably agree to make it so that Recall will be sending those governments that data. As long as Microsoft doesn't explicitly profit from that, they can still be honest to say that they aren't selling it.

One thing that I think might be worth noting is that he also mentioned that there is a hidden feature of Asynchronous Saving that only works on Mac/Linux but not on Windows. It's hidden in the options menu (look at the FFF for more info). But he wants to promote it out of the hidden status for 2.0 and needs for us to test it. He'd like us to reproduce a seemingly random freeze at the last stage of the process. I'm sure if that can be fixed, we'll have something nice to flex on the Windows-users about in 2.0.

Also, keep your filthy hands off Nintendo. And everything that you haven't extinguished yet.

This is very worrying. Tencent is directly under control of the CCP. And I used to have a very high amount of respect for Klei, too. But as long as Tencent has a controlling interest, I don't think it's wise to have their software running on my computer. Heck. I wasn't even aware that Klei was publicly traded.
