@arstechnica "no performance impact" **makes otherwise working games unplayable on proton**

@senslayer @arstechnica Can't have a performance impact if the game doesn't run at all taps forehead

@lunaa @senslayer @arstechnica I wonder for how much income the installation base (exclusively) using Proton even accounts for. Ultimately, DRM/Denuvo is a numbers game and if the projected revenue without Denuvo but plus Proton installation base is less than the projected revenue with Denuvo, then quite simply there's no point caring about it from a business perspective.
