Quoting: hardpenguinSomeone is putting up a fight against Heroic 😁

Every project has a different approach.
Being independent from upstream launchers is more powerful and more efficient but means lots of hours (unpaid^^) to work on creating documentation and testing it against a blackbox and if the platform owner decides to change things, you need to do it again.

Lutris a bit more robust against upstream changes and can implement new things faster.
I wouldn't say fight.

https://github.com/itchio/butler & https://github.com/itchio/itch are there so i guess, integration is just a matter of time and a person dedicating some hours to that.

How does this compare to X4, Freelancer and Dark Space? Feels kind of familiar

Quoting: EhvisAlso noticed that the "nile" dev is working on Heroic now. So I'm hopeful that the amazon games stuff might eventually make it into Heroic as well so I have all my alternative sources in one place.

He already contributed the GoG implementation which happend a lot earlier than the invention of nile.

Quoting: SethMHow is it that Valve is fixing these issues so quickly and the developers (of certain companies ofc), who you would expect to test Proton support at least in passing, are managing to completely break things?

I wouldn't call https://github.com/ValveSoftware/wine/commit/ae2fad7338cc2f914536469656448ecb5fdcf294 a fix, it is a hack and a bandaid solution.

On Windows the Ubi Connect app is still running here.
Maybe a bad interaction of their antidebugger virtual machine protection and wine

From the assets and environment my favourite part of the series was TM: Sunrise

Quoting: KohlyKohlI was playing Warcraft III in 2002 with Wine and World of Warcraft in 2004. I think it has come a long way, though, it was already a great project even in the early 2000s.

WoW without DXVK still looks kind of funny , even these days
Hopefully with the next cycle they can improve their default rendering. Games like Mafia 3 are pitch black :)
