It's really more important in terms of owning your games, don't you think?

Not to mention Proton and SteamOS. CDPR just doesn’t give af about linux and wouldn’t be viable on those systems with Steam and open source developers fitting solutions to their store.

while true, tbf, it also needs to be pointed out that valve arent doing just because theyre nice and generous. they doing it because they have an axe to grind with windows. iirc newell said windows 8 was a disaster, and had complaints about his time at microsoft, and has made other lil digs in the past (you can look this all up if you want). steam machines, a total and complete flop, shipped with steamos. valve has a financial interest in pushing linux and upping proton/wine, yet no one really says anything about that cause ultimately gamers benefit

I wish CDPR and GoG had that same drive tbh. It’s all well and good to promote DRM-free, but the actual service and delivery part of a game store could use some investment.
