The code isn’t the operating systems that Valve owns. networking 101, something connects to make the thing work. Not the code that follows the rules. Learn about it.

That’s Wine/Proton not the other thing that connects to Valves severs and other components.

You cannot download all the code, try it bitch i know you can’t because i also cant. Next time confirm your conspiracy theory first.

You’re the troll if you can’t explain why no one owns all the code. You can’t even accept the lawsuits that the people of America brought against to Valve Corporation.

Dont talk like you have anything worthwhile going when you refuse to acknowledge their crimes.

“Third party software included and respected byproducts of Valve’s proprietary”

Legit doesn’t mean you own all the code.

My worry is Valve will look at the project and shut it down. Remember, Valve doesn’t care about your Linux, it only cares about money. Not having users on their Client side platform means less revenue and less ads to show.

XBox does the sane thing, why do you think it costs money to play multiplayer. Steam multiplayer isn’t even used because corporations have their own servers. The Client really is useless as it’s just a copy of XBox/PS+

The article also is too favorable for Valve and doesn’t mention alternative methods. The billion dollar company should allow people to install games on their browsers. The client is nothing but an analytics and tracker. There’s no benefit, just like there’s no benefit in XBox or PS4/5 achievements or their features.

It doesn’t matter how many fixes you try to fix in current android, it will always be insecure. Google Play won’t work for 4.4 so the kids won’t install any app. Blocking sideloading will make the kids unable to sideload. All they ever have is and android phone with the heaviest browser restriction, any website not on your list becomes block. Super simple, the fear of insecure is only from people who can’t control the phone 100%.

What i’ll do is buy the oldest android you can find, somewhere within 4.4 and install all the privacy safe apps that lock kids from certain sites and such. Hide everything, make it look like it’s a new android (they’ll never know) and watch as they question on why android apps and current hack tricks aren’t working.

The 10 developers Valve hired have nearly nothing in their Github profile. Proton history is nothing but community based code and a copycat of Wine, just like everyone said in the very start of Proton.

No it still sounds dumb, we know they were built by machines and were sold in packs. You lack basic understand in how certain things work. Game development also applies, Github is still the number one source for the information on Proton Contributors, GitHub data doesn’t lie, Valve employees do nothing.

You can’t say Mcdonald’s CEO put effort in his work because he hired people to make the food. See how dumb that sounds.

Valve does not love gaming, they refuse to listen to TF2 fans, they never build games, they brought out studios, criminal cases, Antitrust lawsuit and branding loyal fanbase that keeps defending Valve awful actions in gaming. This is not love, this is toxic community and a toxic company aiming to be profitable at all cost.

Please don’t spread misinformation Valve does not put in effort, they paid people to make Proton, it’s the community that makes the code NOT VALVE. A simple github chart can tell you everything.
