That's because they had not the money to pay for.

HAHA

Copyright violation doesn't get you arrested.

So we are allowed to post in this sub only games you are interested in? How about unsubscribe or shutting up?? Just a suggestion.

Game Crashes

While we are at it, the game crashes my system after some time. It was even worse a week ago, when every second game crashed. Its so bad that if it crashes, then I have to hold the physical button on my computer; which is obviously not healthy. It happens more often in competitive. I'm on a modern computer with AMD+AMD system, using EndeavourOS. Other people have issues too and they have other PC specs, even using Windows. So its hard to say what causes this issue. Here is one tracking issue for Proton: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/8300

5am emails - classic

The distribution doesn't matter, as long as you can install Steam on it.

Oh its Bellular News. Yeah, he does lot of clickbait. I unsubscribed since 2 years by now.

KDE Plasma 6.3 is a VERY polished version! by "The Linux Experiment" is a video overview on YouTube of Plasma 6.3. There is also a new laptop product in the video, but you don't have to watch that part (I am only interested in KDE).

I like the focus of improving the little usability things and bug fixing in general. Especially cloning the "panel" is useful if you want try new configurations or widgets without ruining your current setup. And hopefully their drawing tablets widget finally supports Wayland, as this one of the major points they have on the post. At least on Plasma 6.2 this is still not the case.

lol yeah I use the Turbo button on RetroArch often. In example on boot. Love the turbo button. :D Its still Windows, so you have to figure out the drivers stuff. I researched a lot and recommend the drivers I mentioned in first paragraph (in Edit). And I never setup internet connection. I really don't want Windows 98 to connect to internet.

I have not much experience on Android. Would be interesting to see how it runs there.

Didn't they lift the PSN account requirement on PC just a few days ago? Imagine if they could not play the game during the outage, if Sony didn't lift the requirements. I kinda would have loved to see this, because it could mean a huge shift in gaming based on real world proof.

This is not what you said. This is not pedantic. ok you know what you are right and happy birthday. No need for toxicity here. If you don't even know what you are saying and changing your argumentation over the discussion we had.

It does not matter. The point I was referring to you is that Linux is no longer the least used operating system and why its not limiting to that operating system when creating native Linux support. And no, its not about Native Linux Only games, its Native Linux games in addition to Windows games.

Your argument which I quoted is no longer an argument today.

I was referring to

If the least used operating system. Why limit your audience to such a small niche to begin with?

... which is no longer true. Also supporting Linux does not mean its limited to Linux only. This is in addition to Windows. And supporting Steam Deck comes with some extra goodies for the publisher, as they get some extra marketing in Steam itself and by videogame outlets, fans and YouTubers speaking about it. Do not make the mistake and look at numbers without taking context into account.

Your argumentation only explains why devs didn't create Linux native applications in the past. I said its no longer the case. So don't misunderstand me. What you said is true for the past, not today.

On Steam Linux user base surpassed MacOSX user base, so that's no longer an argument: https://store.steampowered.com/hwsurvey/

On Steam https://store.steampowered.com/hwsurvey/, all Linux operating systems combined have around ~2% users, compared to the MacOSX ~1.4%. This is only a recent trend, as for the longest run Mac had more Steam users than before. And building a native Mac game was more straight forward than on Linux.

Nowadays its completely different than before, thanks to Proton integrated into Steam. This means even though there is a higher percentage of Linux players on Steam, there is less reason to make native Linux games. That has some advantages: Windows binary through Proton has feature parity without the devs needing to understand the underlying Linux system and libraries, less work for the developers means higher probability of supporting Linux for longer time, thanks to Proton and the auto selection of Proton version for each game its also less worry for the end user. It does not matter what system libraries you have installed or what operating system you are using.

It would be nice to have, but in reality there is no real need for native Linux games from developers or for the end user / player.
