Linux

Is there a chance we get a native Linux version?

I'm afraid steamplay is the downfall of native linux versions. The game works too well with it, at least after installing protonGE 8.x.

I would also like a native version.

Well, if there is no native version I won't buy the game. Easy as that. :)

I don't think it matters. Considering Flatpack, Appimage and Co we're not even running Linux apps without additional layers and/or containers anymore. Why should games be any different.

Thanks, that answers my question.

Any news from developers on this?

That's not a good comparison. Flatpak and such don't add a virtualization* layer that causes all sorts pf problems and degrades performance. Wine does, and consequently, so does Proton.


*I know Wine is not virtualization but more of a "translation" layer. It's just easier to deacribe it that way for an audience where most people don't know or care about the difference.

It's not about what it is or isn't. I'd buy a native Linux version, I won't buy a Windows version.

That'd be a step back if there won't be a native Linux version, and I likely won't get it then. (inb4 "but proton". Proton/wine is messy, as discussed in detail ad nauseam on many steam forums, and I like a clean system.)
