Sounds like they need to build the packages with an old version of rpm, or update the spec files to use the newer RPM functions. Annoying that they didn't get that properly sorted before release.
If you use Nvidia drivers, I recommend this repo instead:

As noted on that page: None of these packages can be distributed inside the main Fedora repositories as they are presented here due to patent and licensing issues or simply because they are coupled with non open source software.

Quoting: wvstolzingas packages eventually get built with the newer version of rpm, the warnings should go away.

They recently made Steam launch the compatibility tools during startup; it was most obvious with Luxtorpeda, which popped up some UI. There was an update to Luxtorpeda to work around it (now notes on the console it's bailing due to bogus launch), but you can see errors for other tools (Boxtron, Roberta, etc.) in the console output.
Not sure if that was an intentional change Valve made to work around some other Steam Play (Proton or "native runtime"?) issues, or if it's just a stupid bug.

And yet they try to undercut it by selling for half the price on their own service. At least it gives Valve lawyers a nice example to argue with in the Epic lawsuit. :-D

The anime, pixel art, and manga make for a bit of a weird combo. The pixelated dwarf running around with giant scissors looks more comedic than psychotic; doesn't give the same vibe as the manga. Still looks like it could be fun, though.

This would be a great deal, *if* I didn't already own most of the games. As it is, I only need/want the top game, and I don't want to pay $20 for just that (even if it is half the "full" price).
They don't even link to the Steam pages any more, which I could have sworn they used to do. Or maybe I am just thinking of old Greasemonkey scripts that used to add that (but broke long ago).
Quotecheeky of them not to even link to ProtonDB at all

Strictly speaking, Fedora doesn't ship Nvidia drivers, as far as I am aware? They are available via third-party repos, such as rpmfusion and negativo17. For what it's worth, the negativo17 repo is at least testing it now:

I loved this game when it first came out. Konami did a sloppy HD remaster a while back; apparently they lost the source code and it was based on a buggy pre-release. Nice to see that the new version by Bloober was done well. It's too bad they gave up on native Linux support, but in this case it probably would have been dependent on Konami approving it, anyway.
