Unpopular opinion: if I have to fudge with Wine instead of Proton, I simply will not bother. It's 2024. I'm not going to fiddle with configs, or get a setup together just to play a single game. That's ridiculous. A game should 100% be one click to run, whether it's native or not. and if that's not what is expected in 2024, Linux get it together. sincerely: a full time Linux gamer that is a single parent and doesn't have time to fiddle just to play a game. Wine and most of its front ends need a major overhaul.

Which neatly sums up why I do not and will not even have a Steam account, but buy many games from GOG.

Love gog but fuck them for spamming my email. I found out to claim the new games it'll auto subscribe you to the news letter. So I stopped claiming the games. But still I get emails for promotions and crap. More annoying then freaking scam callers. I've unsubscribed every time I get one and stopped claiming free games. I'm so close to just cut my loses and delete my account but I feel like that still won't stop those parasites
