Linux Gaming

Native Linux support was often problematic because too many developers would use a third party to port the game and then fail to maintain it.

I absolutely love the Steam Deck and I’ll easily take the trade offs that Proton gives us. Maybe one day Linux will gain enough market share to justify more first party native support.

The idea of a "Prison Architect" series of games is just conceptually wild to me. I wonder if in a hundred years this will have the same ring to it that a game like "Slave Plantation Architect" would have today. Just remarkably crass and tasteless.

No Linux support won't even be the worse thing about this game.

I sadly bought Cities: Skylines 2, a simulation game like this from the same publisher and they got caught faking the simulation in it.

With proton there's no need to Wine about it

Lame. They never actively worked on the Cities Skylines native Linux version either.

It may be controversial point of veiw, but good proton support right after release is better for us then just broken native Linux version after three months, which will never be fixed.

PDX games have always worked for me with Proton. That should be fine.

I can get that AAA FPS Shooter does not benefit much from Linux user-base (statistics-wise) but in this case it sure seems like a big missed opportunity.

Paradox doesn't really bother.

Even the games that have native Linux ports regularly have massive issues. Currently you can't play CK3 multiplayer since it immediately goes out of sync, works fine with proton though. The Linux version also crashes much more.

Similar story with Stellaris, where every other update the clients become completely incompatible.

ah damn. I probably wouldn't play it anyway, but still.

These are the people that made Stellaris. I'm not surprised.
