Nice - lets hope this also finally fixes remote play together. My friends don´t get audio when i host...which really sucks balls when i have the beefiest pc and connection...

USA politics haven't had the best run in regards to 'sane decisions' the last years...so if they really stop this for good, this would be a very welcomed exception ^^

Quoting: tfkOn YouTube 90 percent of the comments seem to be in vavour of the acquisition... weird but true.

90% of people also deem Windows a sane choice for an OS to put private data on...so that number's not really something to base an important decision on ;)

Lots of good stuff announced at The Game Awards 2022 — roundup

Quoting: Liam DaweProton has nothing to do with it. We’re not even a 2% platform. This has been debated to death by now.
But still there was a higher percentage of native offerings in the past, that's all i'm saying.

Quoting: Liam DaweOr should I say, Proton has very very little to do with it as most developers never considered a Linux port anyway because of the tiny user share. Get user first, then direct support and maybe when it makes sense - native support.

Like i said, i think it has much to do with it. Don't get me wrong, i agree that proton is probably our best chance to solve the chicken and egg problem and it really is absolutely impressive how perfect it works most of the time.

I'm not sure how you compiled the first chart in this article and can't find another statistic of that sort, but i would be really surprised if that curve didn't go down in the last months/years.

I'm probably just an old grumpy dude that slowly but surely has to let go of his principle to only buy native games outside of bundles because of this development and is at least a tad salty because of it xD

Scrolling through the 'just announced' section on https://store.steampowered.com/sale/thegameawards2022 really shows the downside of proton: almost exclusively windows titles...
Don't get me wrong, i surely prefer good proton compatibility over a bad port, but it's still sad to see.

A decent move from EA...man it's been so long since that was something that could be said about anything EA did that it really feels weird to say it ^^

Here's how to fix Grounded from Obsidian on Steam Deck

This BS really still needed? Oh Microsoft, how i despise you ^^
Apart from that MS Login hurdle, it was good fun in a free weekend - but i won't pay much money for something that is so close to being unplayable if MS decides to change something...

sounds like it's time to go for another run - been thinking about doing that anyway, so this might be a good reason to finally do it ^^
