Stray is Steam only on PC?

    I think so, but why would that be an issue?

    • Shitty Linux client with unfixed usability bugs for years.
    • Can't play games without that shit client and the built-in webbrowser running, even over Lutris (because DRM).
    • Forced updates.
    • And near monopoly.

    And near monopoly.

    Can you really call it a monopoly when the competition keeps shooting itself in the foot?

    My problem is more with their workshop mods. If you own the game elsewhere, you can only download them with their own proprietary and shitty cli tool and sometimes not even that. Yet most mods are there. I mean, just provide a API man.

    Yes, you will find plenty of people that refuse to use anything other than steam

    • It's the best game store for the paying customer on Linux by a long shot
    • True
    • You can roll back to previous versions

    Store: that's a strawman argument; depends on what you prioritize.

    Launcher: not by a long shot. And it's ugly too and themes are mostly broken now.

    You can roll back to previous versions

    Sometimes. For a while. Which doesn't help, if the major modder has given up, because of weekly forced breaking updates of the game. Can't just keep the version that works, even though games are one kind of software where updates are not critical.

    I've played stray on both a pop!os desktop and a steamdeck and it ran wonderfully?

    Doesnt even apply to other games either, just about every game ive attempted to run on steam has worked brilliantly, only issues being games with certain anticheats. Whereas other launchers like epic take 5 years to load and I couldn't get the games to even run. Gog doesnt have Linux support, however has worked somewhat well for me in the past once lutris got it working.
