    As you got invited by OP would you mind sharing your invites too? Asking for a friend me.

      I don’t have the game yet. It used to be instantaneous but now it may take several days according to some people on the internet

    Reminds me of the old Dota 2 closed beta days… Good times. Also on an unrelated note, my DMs are open.

    • DScratch@sh.itjust.works ⁨2⁩ ⁨years⁩ ago

      I slept on my DOTA2 invite and only years later dumped 3k hours into it.

      I won’t make that mistake again, given the chance.

  Somebody needs to tell the games team that they make their own operating system. This is Windows-only. WTF.

  source

  • BaroqueInMind@lemmy.one ⁨2⁩ ⁨years⁩ ago

    It’s almost as if they are a for-profit company that doesn’t want to waste development time on an OS that have significantly fewer players to sell to and will choose to optimize for Linux as an afterthought.

    source

    • skulblaka@sh.itjust.works ⁨2⁩ ⁨years⁩ ago

      Yeah but Valve, who is making this game, made SteamOS and the Steam Deck in house. It’s their own product. It would be a monumentally stupid move to release a first party game that doesn’t run on their own first party hardware.

      Yeah, why would Nintendo develop for Switch or Sony for PlayStation when it’s clearly a waste of development time and and money and Windows is clearly the superior development target?

      I’m not being biased, just speaking truths.

      No, you speak nothing of truth regarding game development has a platform holder.

    I expected this from the start once proton was introduced, just not from Valve themselves… Welp. It’s now inevitable.

      Clueless people act as if Proton was like Java, a “write once, run everywhere” environment…🙄

    It’s really not? You can play it perfectly fine on linux. Performs great for me with 0 issues so far.

    source

    • woelkchen@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨years⁩ ago

      It’s really not?

      The quality of Proton is not the point, the point is that they’re not dogfooding their own platform.

      You guys making the same comments over and over again. I can literally paste previous replies because nobody of you cares to actually read.

    I’m with you in principle, but I think it’s unlikely that Valve are building the game themselves. I expect their first priorities were to find a development studio capable producing a good game, and helping them to do so. If that studio’s developers are most familiar with Windows tools and APIs, then the path to a successful game would be letting them use those, at least to begin with.

    Let’s just hope that they’re being guided along to way toward design decisions that make a native port relatively easy if the game turns out to be good.

      Ice frog is the handle of the dude that took dota from tryndamere and ryze and turned it into dota all star the version of dota most people think of when they think of dota 1.

    • themusicman@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨years⁩ ago

      Valve is absolutely developing this game themselves

      source
    • woelkchen@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨years⁩ ago

      If that studio’s developers are most familiar with Windows tools and APIs, then the path to a successful game would be letting them use those, at least to begin with.

      So you’re saying, if Sony or Nintendo made a new console and contracted an outside developer, that developer should develop for Windows instead of the new consoles because they are unfamiliar with the new tools and APIs? Why even develop using Source Engine (2)? Why not also give in to a total Unreal Engine monopoly because that’s what every game developer knows? CS2 on Steam Deck is bad right now.
