Yes you are :). You just no longer have to set it up yourself. Steam runs Proton (their own WINE fork/distribution) under the hood for windows games.

- jcalvinowens 2y agoWell sure, but the point is it's done for me, and more importantly, actually tested by the developer in many cases.
- pjmlp 2y agoDevelopers don't care, they target Windows as usual, and let Valve do the needful.
- justinclift 2y agoSome game developers do test under Proton. Saying that because I'm in the discord server(s) for a few, and they mention stuff they're working on/support/etc over time.
- pjmlp 2y agoLikewise, some do write GNU/Linux games, yet that wasn't in a number relevant enough to keep the original SteamOS going as businesses, until translation of Windows APIs was added.
- skeaker 2y agoSure, but I think the point is that that doesn't matter anymore. Not sure what you meant by restating this, seems irrelevant.
- frio 2y agoYeah that part is lovely. Having steam games “just work” for the most part is absolutely phenomenal.
