I'm a Linux gamer -- Proton is great. It really, really JustWorks™ the vast majority of the time and performance is great. I don't buy many games on Steam (I don't like how it's effectively DRM) and don't use the social features that much (or at all).
I do however use Lutris a lot and have a huge GOG library. I can't help but think that some of these numbers are affected by the fact that the demographic of the usual Steam user and the usual Linux user are rather different. If anything, Lutris installs might be an interesting comparison point.
- throwaway3699 5y agoSteam is the most user friendly DRM I've ever seen. Sure, it's still a vice, but Valve have kept their promises so far. I'm also looking at shipping a game on Steam soon and DRM is optional, so I'll be avoiding that altogether.
- azalemeth 5y agoGood luck with your endeavor -- but please, please also ship it on GOG. I have 500+ games in my GOG library and about 30 on Steam; the difference is entirely due to their different philosophies about what 'DRM' and 'DRM free' really means.
