Bad news: Playstation is starting to block their games from running on Proton. Playstation Overlay is blocked on Linux in Ghost of Tsushima. The same thing happened with the Concord beta. (x.com)

Already learned my lesson a while back. I bought Horizon Zero Dawn for the Steam Deck. Game is listed as Steam Deck Verified. Froze every time between 10-40 secs into the opening cinematic. Fortunately, Steam is awesome and gave me a refund.

Funny thing is that in searching around for a fix, I found a forum post somewhere that described exactly my problem. Started reading replies and finally realized the poster was on a PlayStation from way back when the game was first released. Good job Sony.

One more reason for not buying

I recognize how much of an impact Proton has had on Linux gaming to help bridge the gaps in our library, and make the platform more attractive to potential new users.

But this is exactly why I won't ever see it as a substitute for native support, because the important thing is support. If we're not supported, anything could break at any time and we'll be out of luck.

I'm happy to get the refund from Valve when scumfuck companies decide to rug-pull like this. If it happens, it's usually long after I've beaten the story and become bored with the game. It's a win for me 🙂

There's so many amazing games on Linux that you'll never have the time to play all of them in your lifetime. So I'm not sure how this is bad news, just means less choice paralysis?

[–] GoodEye8@lemm.ee 6 points 3 months ago

Because the biggest goal for Linux gaming is to get people gaming on Linux. You and me might not care that Sony games won't run on Linux but there are people who want to play Sony games and they will either switch back to windows or not even try Linux. If we want Linux to grow we can't just dismiss issues simply because they're not an issue to us, dismissing issues others have is how we will have the year of the Linux for the next 10 years.

Time to finish that last 10% of Ratchet and Clank so I can refund it if they pull this crap.

Sony needs to crash and burn

[–] fogstormberry@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I'm waiting for the entire industry to crash and let indies fill in

I doubt this will ever completely happen. I think Microsoft would turn windows into a full blown console with forced DRM for all games and software with perfect license tracking before sony, microsoft's xbox division and nintendo bowed out.

The only great thing is that indies can be successful without being under a major publisher. Steam kind of has a stranglehold though for no good reason other than the fact they were the first and thus the most popular one. I still remember losing out on sharing half life cd keys with my buddies. Only one could be used at a time online but few of us were online all the time, this was still in the tail end of the dialup era.
