How dumb does one have to be to intentionally drop support for the hotest game console if the year?!

It boggles my mind.

Also, as a non-pirate (by laziness, not by conviction), I feel like I'm being offered an eye patch, a hook and a parrot every time I interact with a AAA game publisher.

Edit: I keep half expecting EA or Capcom to publish a press release outlining their favorite ways to obtain their games without paying, in order to work-around their own bullshit DRM. It's bizarre that they really think this crap is helping them.

Cool, I won't buy shit from EA anyways.

I hate this game anyway. Codemasters was my favorite dev until EA bought them. Game stutters on high end PC hardware. Wouldn't even try on the Deck.

Good thing I was already de facto boycotting EA games. Not necessarily out of conviction, but because all of them are total shit and simply not worth my time anyway, especially compared to what else is on offer elsewhere. Haven't even started on BG3 yet.

Yet another proof that Proton is a great stop-gap solution but Valve should be pushing game publishers to make native Linux ports.

They would still want kernel level anti-cheat in that case.

The cost to maintain "native" ports is too high to make sense for most developers.

PS: Proton also makes it easier to preserve games since an "native" port would become incompatible overtime without work to adapt the software to changes in the system it's running.

If a company isn't willing to support steam deck/Linux through an easier support option like proton, I highly doubt they'll be willing to support it with higher effort native ports.
