[–] InterSynth@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 2 years ago* (2 children) I mean, native ports are cool and all, but are they really needed? I would assume the game runs just fine with Proton. permalink fedilink source hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] Fubarberry@sopuli.xyz 12 points 2 years ago There are some very vocal people who will tell you that proton is just a stopgap measure, and shouldn't be relied on for the future of Linux gaming. That said, I know the devs have been putting in effort/patches to make sure the proton/steam deck experience works well, and I consider that just as good. All I really want from devs is actual support of the Linux platform, and if they choose to do that through a tool like proton I'm ok with it. It's very unfortunate for Mac users though. permalink fedilink source parent [–] SomethingBurger@jlai.lu 4 points 2 years ago They are nice to have, but most of the time aren't updated as often as the Windows build. permalink fedilink source parent
