Comment on Proton is the Future of PC gaming. But how does it work? [Gardiner Bryant, YouTube]
thingsiplay@beehaw.org 2 months agoYou mean to play Linux games through WSL? Well, Microsoft doesn’t have any reason to, as all games are available for Windows. Or do you suggest the Frankenstein’s Gaming playing Linux games with Proton through WSL on Windows? That would be truly marvelous. xD

No, I meant what I said.
If games do become linux exclusives, microsoft will have a reason

Ah, you mean in a future where Linux overtakes Windows as the primary gaming machine. But hard to believe this will become true in the near future. Especially if we talk about commercial games to abandon Windows. I would like to see such a feature, but doubt it would happen in my lifetime honestly (i’m no longer young BTW). In such a scenario, Microsoft probably would start supporting games with WSL, if they don’t have a different strategy.

I don’t think they care anymore. Their money makers are Azure and M365 at this point, and the OS is just getting ignored (except where they can make more money/data)

I could see them abandoning Windows as it is and instead making their own Linux distro, maybe in like the year 2100 lol

If it helps you understand, yes. I am not so sure microsoft has no chance. I see a lot of youngers gamers, ones not as competent or careful, using just whatever is available to install games.
The windows store is very accessible
