this is only mildly better then the conclusion jump. I am almost strictly single player, but the ideology of paying full price(which is becoming increasingly common to be 70$) for a game that I won’t actually be able to use all the features of… it’s not very appealing to me. Granted it isn’t fair of me to expect it since the company doesn’t advertise it as being non-windows friendly, but it still doesn’t mean I need to buy it. If they want my support, they will need to at bare minimum have it be proton/wine compatible, even if shitty support. If I can’t mark that box it’s a solid not buying. It’s a statistics case, if there are enough people like me, companies would change.
I’m not even asking that they make their games specifically linux-compatible. I’m just asking for them to not prevent compatibility.
I understand making games only for Windows because that’s where the market share is. But going out of your way to ensure they won’t run on Linux is a dick move.
