"why doesn't my recently released porn game work under proton" mfers when they realize they can't tell other people they're trying to play porn games on linux.
Seriously, just do it. Most folk don't give a fuck (I sure as hell don't). There's a game that isn't running on linux, and folk wanna help to get games runnin on linux. That's all there is to it, really. Are there going to be comments going "haha porn game" from immature folk? Ofc. But those can just be downvoted/ignored entirely, like... who cares? So really it's all up to whether ya want for folk to know that yer playin those or not, but like at the end of the day? Let's just be adults bout it, shall we?
i get it, but the pain with those is that they're going to be the 1% most of the time. renpy natively supports linux, so most VNs aren't a problem. Most modern game engines support building for linux. It's mostly just the tiny devs doing weird niche shit not building it properly cross platform, or building it for cross platform.
You also run into the problem of dealing with things at an incredibly small scale, which just make it more annoying. Both for the user and the dev, and anybody working on proton.
It's the development cycle thing of getting 80% of the way there takes 20% of the effort, and getting it 99% of the way there is the rest of it.
Although to be fair, the amount of shit proton just works on is actually staggeringly impressive. I've only found a handful of things it implodes itself on.
I was talking more abt "Oh noo I can't ask folk for support when it comes to getting that game to run in Proton cause it's a porn game and they're gonna laugh at me!", not abt the fact that it isn't native. My point basically is: Why treat it any different in that regard from any other game that yer trying to run through proton? Yeah sure it's a porn game, but who like actually cares? Proton is supposed to make games run on linux, and a porn game is a game.
yeah i get it. But it's a little more than that at the end of the day, i just thought it would be funny to make that joke lol.
