Released to Testing for Arch, I don't think any distributions have it in mainline stable yet.

Palworld is getting external anti-cheat but it will be mostly optional

We have seen this optional thing happen before then you have 99.99% of servers using it anyway forcing Linux users to play in their own little echo-system.

Still a major thorn in Linux Gaming's side, this kernel or even normal anti-cheat software.

Emulation

Actually completely different things that attempt to get the same end result.
Translation has universally been better when possible.

I do like the detachable controllers. It be cool if Valve did that sometime in future.

Social Media marketing in play.

FYI Nintendo has been VERY hostile towards social media marketing. I think latest I heard is they want a %50 cut in profits from streamers who dare play their IP. (could be wrong, but they certainly have a bad rap for going after anyone who makes videos of their games)

GE-Proton 8-28 released with ULWGL support for non-steam games

Well it depends on how you run it. Try heroic launcher, or Lutris, and maybe bottles. Sometimes only 1 of those apps lets me run a game for some odd reason.

So this will basically do very little when used within steam, but if you use it outside of steam it should in theory work a lot better. Automagically?

Never Grave from the Palworld developer looks a lot like Hollow Knight

The developer certainly looks at other games and says, "how can we make sometime similar but improve it".
I think this is where all the hate comes from even thought their doing nothing wrong.

It's the game fanatical fandom that happens which is the problem, instead we should just be happy getting games that are fun to play provided there isn't direct copy-pasting of code/sound/models being done. (or cloning I guess)

At present its not illegal to make a game that looks/plays similar as others, there is huge quantity of trash on steam/mobile that clone others over and over. We seem to only care when this happens and its actually a good similarity/parody that plays well. (Palworld)

Human society is so funny!
