    What now, dxvk or wine’s own wined3d? And, btw, some late 32 bit games have trouble with dxvk using more address space.

      it makes you wonder why valve is pursuing it; are there enough people still playing these old games to justify a profit from the endeavor?

        I’d really like to hope it’s a genuine effort to preserve history.

        There’s a lot of history on Steam and losing it to dead os’es sucks. I know my account has a few hundred games that are a pain in the ass to get running on modern hardware without PCGamingWiki, ModDB, Widescreen Gaming Forums, etc…

        Be cool to have them plug and play under proton.

        I mean, I have seen online of people playing older Windows games on Linux, Steam Deck especially. Even though it most likely not as huge market compared to [insert new game], there’s still fair share people that would buy the old game, even if it may be troublesome to run especially on Windows 10/11.
