Quoting: BeamboomAnd here I thought the joke couldn't be more obvious :sad:Quoting: kuhpunktI hope somebody does a non-VR mod. Not everybody can afford a VR headset and I'd really like to play it.... Then play hl2? This is just a VR mod for that game.

Quoting: furaxhornyxI seriously doubt that.Quoting: GuestYou can be sure that if only native games can get the "Verified" status, and windows-only game could be "Playable" at best, we would see a drastic increase in Native versions :wink:Quoting: Mountain ManRefusing to buy a game that doesn't run natively on your OS of choice is perfectly legitimate, and maybe we GNU+Linux users shouldn't be so damn quick to buy Windows games.Quoting: Purple Library GuyThe reality is, Proton is a perfectly viable option for Linux gamers that, in many cases, gives native-like performance and grants access to hundreds of games we would otherwise never get to play on our operating system of choice. It's also a reality that even if every single Linux gamer boycotted every game that didn't offer native Linux support, it would not compel a single developer to suddenly produce a Linux version to take advantage of what is, by all accounts, a negligible sliver of the market. I wish it weren't it so, but those are the facts.Quoting: kuhpunktAre you asking that because you don't know the person's answer or because you do know and you're waiting for their reply so you can give them a hard time?Quoting: GuestWindows only, shame... When i saw the trailer it looked like a nice game.Why is it a shame?
Proton is great, but I don't think there's any point to razzing people for preferring Linux native.
So, in the end, refusing to buy a promising game because it can only be played in Proton reminds me of the adage about cutting off your nose to spite your face.
Maybe if Valve only gave the "verified" tag to GNU+Linux native games (that run flawlessly), developers would have more incentive to actually port games to our OS and ultimately support them.
Or maybe that's Valve's long-term plan ? Once a lot of games reach the "Verified" status, change the rules so that they will "lose" that precious badge if they don't go Native... Evil, but perfect :grin:

Quoting: itscalledrealityTrue and in the US Final Fantasy 4-6 used to be Final Fantasy 1-3, because the original Final Fantasy 1-3 was never released in the Americas.Final Fantasy 1 was released in the US as Final Fantasy 1.

Quoting: itscalledrealityTrue and in the US Final Fantasy 4-6 used to be Final Fantasy 1-3, because the original Final Fantasy 1-3 was never released in the Americas. So it’s possible his Steam version is actually Final Fantasy 4, but I think that was corrected and the original Final Fantasy 1 got a crappy graphics update. The original experience (graphics and balancing) is perfect to me.FF 1 to 6 all got a Pixel Remaster and are all numbered correctly.
