How is it the game’s fault? They never said it would run on Linux.

You mean they choose not to support Linux. Still sounds like they are to blame, not Linux.

Yes. They chose not to support Linux. Would you get pissy because God of War doesn’t run on your Xbox?

No one made a promise, implicit or otherwise, that these games would run on Linux. The game devs didn’t make this promise by not listing Linux or Proton as supported, and Valve didn’t add these games to their list of explicitly supported games for Proton.

Valve said that we’re free to piss about and try Proton on other games, and that they’d try to improve compatibility, (and they have done) but that isn’t the same as a promise that these games will run.

Yes, they choose to not support Linux because it’s a tiny market share.

I’m pro Linux gaming, but I don’t blame companies for not supporting it when it’s such a tiny market.

Hopefully it’s going to take off and we’ll see more games with native support now that the steam deck is doing so well.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Rules

  • Posts must be relevant to operating systems running the Linux kernel. GNU/Linux or otherwise.
