Anyone who knows how software companies work knows the pattern. One dude wants to do something and pushes hard for it and things get done. Then they leave the company / get promoted / move to a different part of the company and there is no more will to do said thing. The people in the company have forgotten about linux support 200 times already, and saying something 10 years ago won’t change that. Make linux be something regular gamers want to run, get a double digit adoption rate, maybe they’ll revisit it
“This river doesn’t need a bridge because almost nobody ever crosses it.”
Also is there a reason they can’t just distribute proton? It’s open under BSD, so they’d be free to do it.
Gog is not in the bridge building business though
Then maybe they shouldn’t have publicly said they were planning to build this bridge ten years ago.
