ZOOM Platform store announces new tool to run Windows games on Linux with Proton
Some fun news here. ZOOM Platform, a games store that offers DRM-free games both new and old (as well as helping update some older games) now offers a special tool for Linux gamers to run Windows games with Proton.

That's really cool, especially because they are using umu under the hood.
And they even have Thunder Brigade, which I loved as a kid.
My concern with this and other platforms like gog is that I can be fairly confident valve isn't going under anytime soon, and that they have no interest in taking games away from people
I don't have nearly that same faith in a project that's only just started and doesn't have the amount of money behind it valve does
Sure, once you own these games you own them but that means having to store every single game I've bought somewhere incase they go under and it all vanishes
The common thing between this and GOG is that they apparently offer DRM free games so if you've got the game backed up, you'll never lose access to it. If Steam suddenly disappeared, we'd all be fucked.
Oh and I mean since we're talking DRM free games, they'll get uploaded to torrent sites anyway. Don't even need to keep them backed up yourself.
Some 50 dollar for a hdd.
What's the point of this when you can already use proton ge with lutris or bottles?
Am I missing something? Is the idea just to make the process easier?
more is better, now the UIs can proliferate
See that, GoG? This can be done, it doesn’t hurt and there are already tools that can be used to build it without all too much effort.
The video conference zoom?
No, it's another company, but I know nothing about them.
Never heard of that store before, but now I'll have to try it.
