  Was this before or after this: lemmy.world/post/29593011

  Because I’m curious why Valve would have gone to so much trouble to make the game run on Linux just to ruin that.

    Well the game runs well if you just launch it with only one Proton configuration and keep playing on that. The issue is changing the Proton version is recognized as multiple installations by the DRM and it locks you out after a couple of tries.

  Not that I would have bought it - not my type of game - but this game gets on my blacklist.
