Comment on Nearly 90% of Windows Games now run on Linux, latest data shows — as Windows 10 dies, gaming on Linux is more viable than ever

  You think you’re describing a problem with Linux, but you’re just describing a problem with the game. If it’s not on steam it would be the same way on Windows. It will most likely be in a different, less popular and barely supported launcher. By then it is the publisher who is screwing you up, not Linux.

    I was simply offering a case where steam isn’t the simple solution to gaming on Linux, as described by the post above.

    I never said I was describing a ‘problem with Linux’ or a ‘problem with the game’.

    Not all games are available on Steam or will work with steams proton/wine/whatever.

    Game publishers have the right to choose how and where they publish their games. If I can’t install and play them on my machine I simply won’t. AS there is already an endless list of great games I haven’t played.
