Its worth it to try, it's much faster than vlc and highly configurable.

Who is using vlc when mpv exists?

Linux is not getting exclusive builds anytime soon, in our lifetime I'd wager. So Windows builds would still exist anyway, so it would make no difference having native Linux builds, it would only be a bonus. Besides, if Linux somehow eclipses Windows to a point developers don't support Windows anymore, then I'm sure there would be compatibility layers or whatever built to run old Linux games on newer hardware too.

The laws to ban "AI", you mean?

Abandon nvidia. Buy amd/intel gpus.

Fantastic ahaha

Absolutely. You are right, the initial uptake is more important right now. Most of the Linux market share on Steam is the Steam Deck right now.

Where's the source for that? Every statistic I can find puts Linux at about 4% (never above 5 in history) and specifically for Steam, it's at 2.69%.

Yeah, but I mean when making a decision to natively support Linux, it becomes more likely to skip it as "proton can just handle it".

So it's likely we won't see more native development until Linux desktop adoption is much much higher.

I'd like native builds really, but this kinda discourages that. Then again though, with tiny market share Linux has, it's understandable devs don't support it natively. It's also good to not have to manually enable Proton everytime too.

Oh and I suppose this helps with adoption, one less hurdle for someone to jump through to just play games from their library.

Their customers buy it, so they arent changing that

You will never stop cheaters, ever. It's something we have to live with. It's annoying when it happens, but it's hardly the end of the world either.

So I'd rather have the AC running on the server and not invading my system.

Basic anti-cheat already does this, but also with memory, because most cheats are reading/modifying what is in memory. I think the only ethical solution for anti-cheat is on the server side, with machine learning perhaps, kind of like VACnet.

A very nice, simple webpage too.

The only reason for third person to exist in a game like this is to sell more skins.

Of course not... people should still do regular backups.

No consumer decided it would be better without it, there's literally no reason to defend it's removal. It doesn't exist because the phone companies wanted to sell their wireless earbuds, that's it. Anything else they tell you is bullshit.

Why are you trying to justify not having it? You can still use your wireless buds if you want if the port exists, you can still use your USB-C earphones or adapter if you'd like. It can exist in harmony along with other features, like it did for decades before capitalism called for more profits.
