      Actually, yeah, because selling copies is all they care about. And the fact that Epic decided to help get EAC running via Proton back in 2022 shows, that Valve’s endeavor does have impact.

        Even when Epic does something good it’s to Valve’s credit?? Come on now

          Yes. Because Valve put in a lot of work and convinced EAC to add support and collaborated with them to get it added, only for Epic & Tim Weenie himself to immediately do something bad, spread FUD and other such crap.

            Tim Weenie lmfao

            Your middle school level insult totally means that you have a well reasoned point instead of fanboying for Valve. Don’t you have some loot boxes and gambling targeted towards children from Valve to go to?

              Don’t you have some loot boxes and gambling targeted towards children from Valve to go to?

              Nope, because I don’t play those games. Also, Epic literally does that 24/7 with fortnite and other such crap.

              Your middle school level insult totally means that you have a well reasoned point instead of fanboying for Valve.

              I’m not a fanboy for Valve, I don’t even play Valve’s games. I just recognize that when Tim Weenie fires 1000 employees and then goes “If only we had a few more programmers. It’s the Linux problem. …” that he’s talking out his fuckin ass.
              I also recognize that Valve has been putting in a shit load of work into bettering the Linux ecosystem via Proton, The Steamdeck, enticing EAC & Battleye into agreeing to collaborate, among their countless contributions to various Linux related open source projects, such as dxvk, vkd3d, wine, the Linux kernel, etc. even if it’s a long term investment on their own part.
              There’s a reason why it’s called proton_eac_runtime and not eac_proton_runtime.

              You have to be incredibly out of touch or a blatant Epic games fanboy to disregard the facts like that.

                Epic does something you like, it’s to Valve’s credit since Valve did it first. Valve does something you don’t like, it’s okay since Epic does it even though Valve did it first and popularized it.

                At least your logic is as advanced as your insults.

        Yeah bro, the 4% is reaaally worth it. Linux bros cope so hard. Just enjoy your tinkering instead of acting like you’re such a big deal not missing out

            On Steam, there is Linux support on about 10 000 of the 70 000 games. So it is definitely not most.

              where did you get this stat? Do you mean “working” or “verified”? VERY FEW games in my steam library don’t work out of the box. I forget to check when I buy them, they work that consistently

        Gotten us where? You’d think that if they just wanted your money they’d do something else. The fact is your money is as small as the Linux desktop market share.

        If you think the entire reason Proton was developed was because they’re so desperate for the Linux bros’ money then you need to get off your high horse man you’re in the gutter.

          Your issue is that you’re individualistic, and that is why corporations are fucking people the way they are. It’s because of individualistic thinking like yours. Good luck in life.
