That still grinds my gears! I don't care that it runs in Proton, that's not the point. If he had been less disingenuous and had he admitted that he had problems with the Linux build, I would have been fine.
*sigh*
Alright, I feel better now.

The first was ok with friends then quickly went to shit as they tried to impose Playstation account requirements, followed by constant nerfing of weapons instead of fixing long standing bugs or adding interesting content.
Cyberpunk 2077 started ok-ish, but the more you played the more you realized they couldn't fully overcome the problems that game had at launch. After some of the large changes, a lot of the stuff you could equip felt like leftovers that weren't removed. The game play mechanics were poorly implemented.
As for the Elden Ring DLC, well, even the base game felt amateurish, in the sense that you could really tell they had too much on their plate by having to make their first open world game, and their first DX12 renderer at the same time. And then they reused as much as they could from previous games but I never liked how the combat system got hastily balanced by giving enemies attacks with insane reach so they could work in open areas.
Still, I considered it a decent first attempt, though not one that I would play as much as previous entries. In the other hand the DLC feels like garbage designed to pad gameplay hours: every annoying aspect of enemies cranked up to 11, there's 3 practically empty areas, 2 of which have absolutely nothing of importance in them, and the other one forces you to walk instead of riding your horse, an end boss that is an endless sequence of bullshit, and recycled assets everywhere.

D2R has the always online bullshit even to play singleplayer.

Shortly after purchasing the game once they recommitted to supporting Linux through Proton they completely stopped working on the game and there have been no updates in 9 months at this point.
Instead of pushing updates they went to war with their player base and created a highly restrictive code of conduct that drove away most players, silenced the remaining players, and the game is now essentially dead.
The devs then imploded with infighting and ran off with the money.
