I primarily use linux, including for games. While I think proton is amazing, I think linuxheads paint too cheery a picture. They'll be like "all my games work and yours will too."

Shit like this is exactly what happens. It's why I still keep a small windows partition for when games are being fucky.

A game pushes an update with new drm or even just using a new library, and you end up with the rug pulled. This story is just a high profile example of something that happens on the reg.

I mean some of this shit happens on Windows too.

Origin/EA's launcher thing gets borked on Windows anyway
