    True, the fact that you can play modern AAA games as good or better than windows these days means it is flat out a development issue.

    Tap for spoiler

    Although I heard it’s because a lot of the tooling for games doesn’t exist on Linux.

    So it would actually be the developer’s developer that is too blame or is that all the job of the developer?

    Either way it’s because game industry isn’t as mature as on Windows and doesn’t have enough money to fast track it like consoles do.

    Although I guess that is a bit of a chicken and egg problem but not really it’s more a kick back grease my palm corruption issue.

    Ps. i know what you are thinking:

    'Isn’t this a bit long for a spoiler?"

    And to that I say:

    ‘If you preschoolers could read more than one line without getting scared off I wouldn’t have to bury any nuance in a spoiler tag.’

    Anyways it’s getting late and I just took a melatonin and I don’t want to stay up too much longer because that really messes me up when I take melatonin and still can’t sleep, is that just me? Idk maybe leave a response answering it so I know you found this.

    Thanks for asking and have a good night Love and kisses yours truly random guy on the Internet.

    You can hang up now that was the end, what are you waiting for? Is anyone actually going to read this far? You know when the comment turns to rambling it is ok to stop reading.

    Seriously, go! This is obviously a waking melatonin induced nightmare, this isn’t interesting.

    Ok, I am actually going to leave now, don’t worry about me I don’t actually get nightmares from melatonin but I’ve heard it’s a common symptom but I’ve been actually prescribed it by a sleep doctor I know for a fact that I do need it go worry about something important.

    Anyways now that I’ve weeded out all the illiterate people we can talk about mature subjects like they used to on late night TV so the kids didn’t watch anything spicy although that was kids shit compared to what we have now So what about that war with Iran? That was some crazy shit huh? I mean I don’t like when people die but like war is a necessary part of life I personally believe there is no good in war and the only good from war is what you get from it the consequences of war might be good even if you disagree with the actual killing of people so I guess my opinion is that if the war in Iran leads to a better tomorrow then it was worth it, not “Just” because once again you can’t be a good person and kill another person you would need a God to dictate that since you cannot self declare yourself above an equal but you can take the most rational actions possible and in the end aren’t we all a collection of action? And wouldn’t the best action taker be the most moral person?

    I don’t know but I really do have to let you go now good night and tell your mother I love her, actually love is a big word tell your mother I banged her and now we don’t know what to do with you, actually don’t tell her that but is there a chance you could like I don’t know not be here anymore? It’s not you it’s me well that’s not true at all it’s entirely your fault and you will probably go to hell but just remember your mother still loves you, not me though but you should also remember your mother is an Idiot.

    Anyways good night.

    One of the refunds reasons you can select is “the game doesn’t run on my PC”. This is completely valid.

    Complex and recent games run on Linux these days.

    Not allowing run a game in Linux is, nowadays, a choice from its developer rather then a causality. Proton is a really powerful tool!

    If a game don’t run in Linux, via Proton or natively, that’s dev issue that actively blocked Linux.

        Still… There are anticheats that allow Linux, like EAC, Hyperion and many others… If they choose one that does not allow Linux, or choose one that allow Linux but block it, it’s a dev issue

    At this point I wouldn’t be suprised that some dev companies are taking Microsoft kickback money under the table. There is really no excuse for a game not to work on Linux natively on 2023.

    Paladins is a pain for this. Game runs fine on proton, and all it needs is some work with EAC to enable linux on multiplayer but despite all the requests they’ve yet to bother.

    Well, you can’t blame developers to not cater to their 1% player base. Especially since that group usually have the most problems and requires more development time.

      Is it really that much detached from macOS though? They can dist to Mac then Linux shouldn’t be much different, right?

    Jesus lol.

    This is probably true for big games, but I wouldn’t get angry at any small developer for not supporting Linux. It’s just not worth it/still such a small base.

      Most of the time indie games actually do run on Linux, it’s the games from big studios that don’t (in my experience)

    I was just thinking about this the other day…like games are optized for windows usually, but windows is not optimized for games. A fresh Windows 10 runs at 2gb ram on idle. It all went down hill for gamers when Microsoft killed xp

    If there’s a game that can’t run on Linux in the current year then that’s intentional and it’s not worth anyone’s money.

      I don’t agree. There are cases with Windows only root kits for DRM, but there are also games that don’t work because of bugs. You see games coming out that barely work on Windows.

    I blame Linux distros for being too complicated and unintuitive for 95% of the population, which in turn gives it a negligible market share from a game development perspective.
