How so? At the time of sale it's not clear how the user will play the game, especially considering only a few titles are available officially for Proton.

- kungtotte 6y agoHm? All titles on Steam when played with Proton are registered as being played on Linux, not just the ones available officially, and if you do this with something you just purchased it will show up in Steam's statistics as a Linux sale. This lets the publishers and developers know that there's a market of Linux gamers because they can see that X thousand players play their game on Linux. So when they make their next game, hopefully they'll pick technologies that lets them release with proper Linux support and not "hope it runs under Proton"-support.
- Kaze404 6y agoDo you have a source for this? I don't doubt that's how it works but it doesn't sound likely.
