It is not a mistake. I said âmany donât work wellâ, you say âmany work fine.â Those two things are not mutually exclusive. Many can work fine, many can work badly, and many can work fine with minor issues.
Iâm not a English native, does âmanyâ as used in context like this not mean âmost of the objects in the category mentioned in the sentenceâ, but only that there are many of them? If so, then your sentence âmany linux versions of games have either major bugs or are almost unplayableâ doesnât seem to provide any meaning, does it?
Valve games all work fine (besides modding, sometimes you can run into path issues or similar)
Just a reminder: multiple problems in the Linux versions of some Valve games have not been fixed for several years, I have seen multiple problems with Left 4 Dead 2.
so they rely on often-apathetic developers to release a fix.
I agree that we should support linux developers, but I think it is a difference in philosophy on whether people should exclusively support linux devs
I think so too. I canât convince myself to pay for a game from a developer who is apathetic about linux .
For games like Borderlands 2, Planetary annihilation, Rocket league, Rust, etc⌠those fixes never came and in 2 of those cases, linux support was just removed instead.
especially when their support of linux may be fleeting.
Itâs really a terrible story. I was also annoyed by Borderlands 2. Fckn Linux support⌠Darkest Dungeon, Outlast, Dying Light⌠I try not to buy games that have had a third company produce a Linux port. Those games tend to leave bugs in the Linux version. It would be nice if information about Linux friendly/unfriendly game developers were shared with the Linux gamer community, but unfortunately, such stories are not in the mainstream of the Linux gaming community.
I would like to point out that many, many linux versions of games have either major bugs or are almost unplayable
This is a mistake. I have played over 50 Linux games and many of them work fine. I find it unfortunate that Proton/Wine gamers tend to miss the opportunity to support the creators of games for Linux.
The pessimistic future that I currently foresee is that the Proton/Wine community will become accustomed to having the effort of Linux gameplay for non-Linux games pushed on them by the game companies, and will take it for granted. Hopefully they will remember that there is a huge gap between Linux-enabled games and Proton-enabled games.
There is no question that there is room for improvement in the recommendation algorithm, but the claim that Big Tech is being (unfairly) harsh on conservative information is worth considering. However, this is partly because conservative information on the Internet contains a lot of wrong information.
You should have at least posted it on /c/linuxmint.
The current title seems to be unpopular. Do you have any suggestions for a better title?
