Seems a pretty obvious way to preserve value-add in the face of competing game services. GOG and so forth don't have Proton, so the simplest moat to build is to curtail native Linux development and protect Proton's status as the "default" approach to getting games running there.
- joveian 3y agoUnfortunately, GOG seems to have mostly given up on Linux and often doesn't provide available Linux builds (I think there may have been one main employee who pushed for better Linux support who left years ago). There is at least one "Proton without Steam" build that I haven't tried: https://github.com/GloriousEggroll/wine-ge-custom https://github.com/GloriousEggroll/wine-ge-custom Personally, I've been using Windows fully offline with GOG games, although I'd like to some day try putting together a Linux based offline game console (or maybe NetBSD based if Wine is sufficient).
