they didnt get hitman 2+3. it also makes no sense to port the new life is strange
they dont get AAA like 2077

now they dont even have to port online games

microsoft handheld incoming

did he say he used STEAMOS, or was it win11?
i mean why would he have a deck? valve said they working with MS cause of win11, so i guess he has some beta windows11 version on his deck

i guess epic paid for the linux port
4A didnt sell a lot of metro copies on epic, but still got a lot of money and they still got the money on steam, where more people bought the game, because they havent on epic

even with the game on sale they got paid twice for the game

on the one hand you have 1 game from feral and maybe some other devs not porting their game to linux

on the other hand you have 1000s of games you can play, including the ones they would have ported.

imho the answer is pretty clear

I mean... maybe to be a little gross. But isn't this sort of like the short term gratification of getting a hooker... but then later down the road you figure out you caught something nasty and long term are forever cursed? That's kind of what this seems like, bad things long term, for short term solution.

For me, the specific use case of Proton is for games that would never even remotely get a native port. Games that are years old, and no longer supported. Or for games that won't even run on Windows 10.

what is long term for you?
for how long gaming on linux is a thing and nothing really changed?!?!
do you wanna wait another decade? or 2? or 3?

linux needs market share, which you wont get without games/software. with a bigger market share the native ports will come back

Isn't that basically what I said? The problem is we get the short term 'fix' by using Proton.

if the short time fix means we can play almost everything with 5% performance loss........ ill also take it for a long term solution
i really dont care if its native or proton as long as i can play it

Nothing really changed? Are you serious?

i clearly was talking about market share. 2018, when proton started linux users thought "now we get the market share"........ still under 1%.... nothing changed in 3 years

with the deck we could double it in 2022

Quoting: MohandevirI'm no specialist, but from what I read, there is also the possibility of optimizing the code for the Steam Deck to get that extra performance, in a native build, that you can't get with Proton. Am I wrong to think so?

yes, if you have the knowledge, which is most likley not the case

at least they should go FULL VULKAN, so we get the best perfomance on windows and proton
