So they gave 25k for Lutris to run their windows games, however, Lutris is using Steam's Proton technology which costs probably millions for Valve. How nice of Epic...

Lutris is a nice software to fill a gap, otherwise I would not be able to easily run LoL, SW:BF2, BF1. Keep up the good work :D

This 20$ ruined my life :D However I would say it is the most well spent 20$ of my life :D I love the game and played hundreds of hours with it.

Nice gesture from them, however I will keep the game after 700 hours in it and hope for an anti cheat support in Proton.

Time to make a Valve Linux and focus purely on desktop/gaming experience. I would even pay for it if everything works well. I have a lot of sound issues in Ubuntu however I have a high end soundcard on my MoBo, I have to use my mobile to avoid killing my friends eardrums.

I also wrote to them yesterday and received this reply :)

Dear András,
Unfortunately, we can currently only support Linux if the respective game natively does so.

Currently we do not officially support Wine, but we are working with Valve to add support for Proton (SteamPlay) on Steam.
