  • If it wasn’t, then buying a single copy would legally allow you to sell an infinite amount of copies.

    Because that’s what actually owning software means.

    This. Is. A. FUCKING. Lie.

    If I buy and own a physical copy of a book. I am not then entitled to set up a printing press and sell my own word-for-word copies of said book. Same applies to ownership of digital goods.

    If I go to GOG and buy a DRM free game (aka I would then own that copy) I still wouldn’t have the legal right to distribute copies to other people.

    That’s because copyright laws exist, and they apply to both situations I described. Shame on you for mindlessly repeating industry lies.














  • Official Proton support is an excellent, functional compromise.

    Except it’s not a compromise. 99% of games on Steam work on Proton without input from the devs. All they have to do to make it work on Proton is to not go out of their way to break it. At most, they probably have a single Linux system in the studio to run builds on just to make sure it works.

    They’re doing nothing in this regard and pretending they’re doing something for brownie points. If you don’t want to put in effort to make a separate Linux native version that’s fine, but don’t then turn around and claim that you’re focussed on Linux support.
