as the saying goes: play EA games, win EA prizes
Yet another proof that Proton is a great stop-gap solution but Valve should be pushing game publishers to make native Linux ports.
If a company isn’t willing to support steam deck/Linux through an easier support option like proton, I highly doubt they’ll be willing to support it with higher effort native ports.
Valve isn’t promoting native ports in the first place and suits only know “Works with Windows games, we don’t need to care about details”.
They already tried that in the Steam Machines era. It clearly wasn’t working.

Steam Deck is way more successful than 3rd party Steam Machines. The comparison makes zero sense because it ignores all developments since then.
It would be just as (un)popular as the Steam Machines if it wasn’t for Proton, that’s my whole point.

Which part of “Proton is a great stop-gap solution” makes you think I’m opposed to Proton?
They would still want kernel level anti-cheat in that case.
Good thing I was already de facto boycotting EA games. Not necessarily out of conviction, but because all of them are total shit and simply not worth my time anyway, especially compared to what else is on offer elsewhere. Haven’t even started on BG3 yet.
People are still buying EA shit.
I hate this game anyway. Codemasters was my favorite dev until EA bought them. Game stutters on high end PC hardware. Wouldn’t even try on the Deck.
The kind of people who like competitive video games -especially sports - are the same kind of jerkasses that used to bully actual fans of video games in the 80s-90s. So enjoy your busted-ass FIFA lol
WRC is a rally racing game.
And even if it weren’t, this is a shit take.
Especiallyspecially in the 80’s the “nerds and jocks” division was tangible. For jocks it was a social suicide to say they played video games or knew how to use a computer and nerds were beaten and bullied for being a member in the local computer club.
Jocks often had secret friendships with a nerd to play video games that they instantly denied if questioned.
So I understand where your hostility comes from, but still a little rough.
Here the setup broke down in the 90’s when jocks started using computers to get to the early social medias, because nerds sisters were there. Sisters had taken interest what their nerd brothers were doing and saw the potential in chats and forums.
Meanwhile, esports gamers, being the biggest bunch of dorks on the planet.
