am I the only one who is bothered by the ongoing trend of (even indie) developers not shipping a native linux client and relying on proton instead? I think this has gotten worse over the last couple years...
in reply to Johannes

@itchyballs not many released Linux Native builds even to begin with, and Proton does 99% of the time result in a click and play experience, it's only a problem if you're blinded by platform executable ideology

most gamers don't and shouldn't care

in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux ๐Ÿง๐ŸŽฎ

maybe you are right. But when I want to buy elsewhere (like gog) I don't have a nice way to play on linux. This was the case with the latest title from frictional games for example (the first time they did not ship a linux client). That is why I still appreciate native ports.
But as you said most people probably shouldn't/don't care.

I care. And frankly, I'm just especially tired of being told that I'm not allowed to care.

@missingno @itchyballs no one is saying you canโ€™t, just that as a gamer 99% of people (me included) care if it works and if itโ€™s supported

Lots of Native games had support entirely removed - so in the end it matters little
