Edit: Yo, I'm not saying this is gonna happen. I just want to say that Windew's UX sucks ass.

My problem is that being in denial about the state of gaming on Linux (better than before, still garbage) does nothing to improve the state of gaming on Linux.

Do you think that was profitable for Steam (from people voting with their wallet), or do you think Steam did it for charity out of the kindness of their hearts?

You seem to think that Valve developed Proton to capture the Linux marketshare. That's unbelievably naive.

Okay, so why did they develop it?

Because Microsoft has the power to end Steam almost overnight so Valve is desperately trying to move people away from Windows. Linux just happened to be a useful tool but Proton aims to capture the Linux userbase about as much as ChromeOS does.

Microsoft has the power to end Steam almost overnight

You want to explain that one? Yes, Steam was exclusively on Windows, but how exactly would Microsoft "end them almost overnight" without immediately being slapped with significant lawsuits? Do you honestly believe Microsoft would put something in their code that specifically excludes Steam?

You call me nieve and then claim the reason was wild conspiracy theories...
