Time for a quick poll... How did you find out about BoilingSteam in the first place?

Tim Sweeney has a strange habit of disparaging Linux (Ignoring it completely, or saying "Switching to Linux like moving to Canada when you don't like US politics"), taking exclusives away from Steam which is the only real platform supporting Linux gaming (lol GOG)... yet a few days ago he's starting to say "Linux is great", and that EAC Anti-cheat system's WINE support for Proton is still in the works.

Did someone hack his Twitter account? 😉

Oh MY... I guess I did not pay attention recently, but ShenMue3 is now an EpicStore exclusive. https://www.forbes.com/sites/erikkain/2019/06/13/shenmue-3-becoming-an-epic-game-store-exclusive-is-a-serious-betrayal-of-kickstarter-backers/ Seems like people running EGS can't fight on anything else and make these ridiculous moves that make you regret nobody sells physical games anymore on PC. Oh and Deep Silver, you guys are lamentable dicks too. #epicdicks #deepsilverdicks #shenmue3 #pcgaming #epicstore

Since this may be of interest to a few people, I was asked how many Steam games have at least one ProtonDB rating - and the answer is 8627 at the end of June 2019, which is about 27% of all Steam Games (assuming there are about 31 000+ games on Steam). Not a bad sample. #linux #linuxgaming #protondb

RetroArch is coming to Steam end of July, first Windows only but Linux is expected afterwards too. #Linux #linuxgaming #emulators

Proton's Recent Progress for Windows games compatibility on Linux is impressive: more than 75% of games are able to run (Silver ratings and higher): https://boilingsteam.com/proton-keeps-making-its-way-in-compatibility/ #linux #linuxgaming #proton #protondb

Idiot journalists have been claiming for years that the PC market is dead. Guess who should be surprised now that it grows sharply again?
