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.
Yes, they choose to not support Linux
Exactly this. It’s like buying a PlayStation game and being shocked that it doesn’t work on your Xbox.
Things like Proton are very much the exception and not the rule. Unless either Valve or the game devs come forward saying that Proton supports this, it shouldn’t be an expectation.
The entitlement in this whole thread is insane. Is that how linux gamers are? Not to mention that modern gaming require developers to use third-party anti-cheat solution on which they have little control. You’d think the Linux crowd would understand that it makes more sense to please the 98% of players up until anti-cheats get better Linux support.
