Fine, this is Proton's fault then. Or Steam. Or I'm just a dumb Customer that paid for the game you developed.
My point is and let's correct the statement made, you are right, it's not all developers.
From experience:
Epic Games, Ubisoft, Crystal Dynamics, Eidos-Montréal, Nixxes Software, Feral Software, Hello Games, KOJIMA Productions, System Era Softworks, thatgamecompany, 2K, Naughty Dog LLC, Iron Galaxy Studios, and a few more but I think I make my point ...
OK that's not all developers/ publishers, but all of these publishers have some kind of app/ launcher that needs updating and work on SteamOS, and I mean ALL of these, updated their apps/ launchers and all of them don't stop me from playing the games I BOUGHT.
Apparently even smaller studios seem to do some kind of testing on their apps/ launchers on systems like SteamOS, even if not supported to not break them, since IT IS a use case. I don't care for anti-cheat and those who need it have their own opinion and probably (most certainly) won't use Linux (at the moment).
With so many people moving to Linux, it's high time EA did something to support Linux. At least for the last 5 years the feedback has factually been given, and it's been ignored. So ... yes ... Linux users are being treated as lesser Customers, and this response proves that, instead of saying:
- Yes, support is missing.
- Yes we should have tested an existing use case (that BTW isn't that niche anymore).
- We should do better.
The answer is:
- It's not supported, and you shouldn't use SteamOS to play the game you bought from us.
Thank you for the answer anyway.
