Linux game porter Ethan Lee begins officially working on Steam Play's Proton!

Ethan Lee is a software engineer from Georgia. He has ported a countless number of titles to Linux for independent developers etc. In short; Ethan lee is a Linux-game-porting-legend.

Lee expressed that he would like to officially work on Steam Play's Proton (Valves' new asset and weapon against Micro$haft's walled garden plans) and now he's in.

Lee: "starting tomorrow I'm working on Proton in an official capacity, in partnership with CodeWeavers. Task #1 is FAudio integration!"

FAudio? He explains:

"FAudio is a new, accuracy-focused reimplementation of XAudio2 and its relative libraries (such as X3DAudio, XACT, and XAPO). Part of this work includes a COM wrapper that mimics the Windows XAudio2 DLLs, allowing Windows games to use FAudio for audio support instead."

More Spydows-only games to work on Linux via Steam Play, then!
