Yet another proof that Proton is a great stop-gap solution but Valve should be pushing game publishers to make native Linux ports.
The cost to maintain “native” ports is too high to make sense for most developers.

If that was the case, no console ports would exist, except maybe Xbox because Xbox uses modified Windows internally.

Proton also makes it easier to preserve games since an “native” port would become incompatible overtime without work to adapt the software to changes in the system it’s running.

Inform yourself what Steam Linux Runtime is before making such comments. You are 100% wrong.

Game dev: Linux users were only 0.1% of sales but 20% of crashes and tickets | Hacker News

How fucking idiot would you have to be to complain about users sending bug reports. Linux users usually send very detailed bug reports, which can uncover bugs that might happen on all platforms.

Yes Linux users generate great reports because they care and usually are more knowledgeable.

But treat the reports cost time and work, and usually the problems will happen for the majority of their use base.

So, as the company, you can have 0.1% of your sales generating 20% of extra work that will not benefit 99.9% of the rest of the users. It is easier and cheaper to cut that group (us Linux users) instead of support.

I understand people not wanting to support Linux, that’s fine. But complaining like that guy did is just stupid. Complains about auto-generated bug reports from people that play the game and then complains about that same group of people of participating in the forums. 🤦
