QuoteDo you stick with the Stable Steam Client or like me do you live on the wild side and basically always stick with the Steam Beta?

Send them a message and go play together ? I’m an heavy Steam user for many years, but i never think there is ONLY Steam in my gamer’s life. Vintage Story is an amazing game, it seems a bit silly not to play it for such reasons. It’s not like it’s on an other EVILCORP system like Epic, it’s simply direct, straight, from devs, to players, and native Linux (i would understand the "need" for Proton, but here it’s not needed at all).
Joke's on you I don't actually have any gaming friends

Neat although now I use Heroic Games Launcher for installing anything non-Steam (yes, even if I am sideloading outside of GOG or Epic).
