Linux is not getting exclusive builds anytime soon, in our lifetime I’d wager. So Windows builds would still exist anyway, so it would make no difference having native Linux builds, it would only be a bonus. Besides, if Linux somehow eclipses Windows to a point developers don’t support Windows anymore, then I’m sure there would be compatibility layers or whatever built to run old Linux games on newer hardware too.
Fantastic ahaha
Absolutely. You are right, the initial uptake is more important right now. Most of the Linux market share on Steam is the Steam Deck right now.
Where’s the source for that? Every statistic I can find puts Linux at about 4% (never above 5 in history) and specifically for Steam, it’s at 2.69%.
Yeah, but I mean when making a decision to natively support Linux, it becomes more likely to skip it as “proton can just handle it”.
So it’s likely we won’t see more native development until Linux desktop adoption is much much higher.
I’d like native builds really, but this kinda discourages that. Then again though, with tiny market share Linux has, it’s understandable devs don’t support it natively. It’s also good to not have to manually enable Proton everytime too.
Oh and I suppose this helps with adoption, one less hurdle for someone to jump through to just play games from their library.
You will never stop cheaters, ever. It’s something we have to live with. It’s annoying when it happens, but it’s hardly the end of the world either.
So I’d rather have the AC running on the server and not invading my system.
Basic anti-cheat already does this, but also with memory, because most cheats are reading/modifying what is in memory. I think the only ethical solution for anti-cheat is on the server side, with machine learning perhaps, kind of like VACnet.

A very nice, simple webpage too.
Good. Fuck that shit.
They only made a second one, to get a second wave of publicity. Except this time it didn’t work. The first game had about a week of players and then died.
Yeah it definitely needed some way to make it less random the further you got (more than it already did). The rng ended up just being a time waste.
They went through a few ideas until settling on Jump Ship iirc. Jump Crew was one I remember.
Glad to see its gained popularity now, it has a lot of potential!
Ah, Hyperspace, it’s come a long way since it was called that. It’s a fun game, works flawlessly on Linux too with Proton.
+1 for Endeavour if you basically want easy to install Arch with the very minimal preinstalled.
There’s CachyOS too if you want a few more tweaks OOTB.
Arch has definitely been my fav so far, the wiki is unmatched. I stuck with EOS.
If people play, it becomes popular, which attracts more players, which attracts spending. Even if you spend $0, you are still supporting the type of game it is by playing it.
It’s not going anywhere until people stop playing the games.
They would have been fine if they just gave them budget and left them to it, but it was never about producing good games.
