For the time being, Proton is good enough for me. I think devs/publishers refusing to enable their chosen anticheat to work with Proton is what is holding things back now for tech people. For other people, there’s even bigger challenges, and I doubt they even read up on these “tech nightmares” so they’re good with just continuing on with Windows.

Maybe they should, gasp, include chargers with phones! What a concept…

They might now they’re owned by Microsoft. They’ve been adding games to Steam (perhaps only Overwatch 2 and Diablo 4? so far?).

I don’t believe WoW is on Steam. It’s likely that Steam was just open in the background and popped up over WoW.

I’d love to see another player, but I don’t think this is it.

Maybe I need to give Cyberpunk 2077 another shot.

I’m sorry, 175 GB? WTF with these game sizes.

Before private lobbies in GTA, I remember blocking ports for GTA in my firewall except to my friends’ IP addresses, which worked for a while.

GTA Online has terrible monetization and Rockstar are openly hostile towards PC as a platform, but I wouldn’t call GTA mediocre at all. There’s nothing quite like the attention to detail or breadth of GTA games. If you’ve played a few GTA clones, you’ll know what the competition looks like and it’s not even close.

I don’t want to discount what you saw, but I don’t think Linux gamers are even asking for official support. If they don’t want bug reports from Linux gamers because the reports would be “tainted” by an unsupported operating system, then they could have a banner on the submission page. I would argue, however, that they would be missing out on a lot of free bug testing where all of these companies are far too cheap to pay for proper bug testing these days.

At this point, Linux gamers would just appreciate the bare minimum being put forth with developers not breaking the games for them.

Unpopular opinion, but hype for GTA 6 died to me when they showed their disdain towards Linux users. They’ve always been shitty towards PC, but enough is enough.

Hopefully they add Linux support soon.

Apparently, Linux hosts do not show up when setting up the connection. Hopefully Linux support gets implemented ASAP.

I found this Googling for it: https://www.techradar.com/phones/iphone/how-to-program-the-iphone-15-pro-action-button-to-trigger-chatgpt#section-step-by-step-guide

“in a world where search doesn’t exist, one man, one labrinth of folders he must click through.”

Right now Valve could disappear and gaming on Linux would continue, better for the efforts Valve have already made. I would think that the improvements would stagnate without Valve, though.

Non-Steam utilities like Lutris, Bottles and Heroic run games nearly as well as Steam. We’d carry on.

The irony in these nerds attacking WoW nerds.

Edit: for the record, I’m a nerd. But I’m a live and let live nerd.

This company famously stopped being loyal to its employees back in the 90s.
