If I can’t get it working on Linux I get a refund. For the past two years my Steam year in reviews have showed 100% of my play time was on either Steam Deck or desktop Linux.
Ironically I’ve had more issues running native games than windowss via proton games (but proton is there to run the windows version with zero issues lol)
Out of curiosity, how many games have you had to get a refund in the past couple years? Becouse I haven’t launched a game on linux sense I switched (2 years and a couple weeks ago) that didn’t just work (barring some potential proton changes)
That checks out, also for anyone reading this that’s interested in the types of games that have anticheat, here’s a good constantly updated list of games that do/don’t work with linux due to anticheat
At this point, windows-only title that won’t work on Linux are overpriced cash grab with multiple layers of intrusive DRM that will try to wring you out for more money for a year before dropping the still unfinished thing off the support line.
The reason I started playing on PC is because I want the best experience for each game, and ability to play most of them. If I have to ignore certain games that don’t support Linux, I lose that.
Mad respect to those of you that prioritize software freedom and Linux support, but that’s not me.
I ignore certain games that don’t run via proton, because those certain games typically dont run because they have invasive and unnecessary DRM or Anticheat thats more malware than anything useful for protecting play.
Which I wouldnt buy or have on my computer on windows, much less linux, anyway. So nothings lost.
Jerry: Well … you want something to play, don’t you?
Kramer: Ahh, no, no, no. You got me all wrong buddy. I am loving this no Windows Gaming. You know what I discovered? I really like depriving myself of things. It’s fun. Very monastic.
