The quality of Proton is not the point, the point is that they’re not dogfooding their own platform.
You guys making the same comments over and over again. I can literally paste previous replies because nobody of you cares to actually read.
That’s because I don’t understand your point. You complain about it being only for windows yet push away their efforts of bringing windows games to linux (which is proton). So indeed, the quality of proton is very much the point as it dictates the quality of the game on linux to a general extent.
Not to mention that this IS an early development build, I would say that its perfectly reasonable for them to only make the early builds for windows since that is where a majority of the play testers are likely to be (not to mention that linux -> windows tools don't exist unless you want to game on WSL2).
So what are you trying to complain about? The fact that they aren’t exclusively pandering for steam deck users? If that is the case, I must admit that it’s very childish to just expect that and I hate other companies for making this the norm.
All of their games have native Linux builds. So if this one doesn't support Linux out of the box, his opinion is quite valid.
It’s not out of the box though is it? Considering that this is a game that hasn’t even been revealed to the world in the first place.
My bad, I meant when it gets released.
Ah I see. Sure, if there is no native linux build on the games release, I'll be complaining too.
