    Proton is open source. Anyone can pull it together and integrate it. Gog have been doing DRM free games for a while, they’ll be quite keen to fill this niche. Epic probably won’t care. If none do, someone will want to.

      What are you smoking? GOG Galaxy doesn’t even have a Linux client. In fact it has been one of the most requested features for years and nothing has happened.

      Edit: it’s also the reason I stopped buying from them when I got my Steam Deck.

      Valve is a private company whereas GOG belongs to CDProject - a publicly traded company. GOG might want to fill the void but they’re more likely to do dumb, shortsighted decisions in contrast to Valve.

        Maybe, but DRM free content isn’t exactly shareholder value…

        It’s better shepherded than Epic. They probably don’t fill the space because Steam do it better, but you invest more if the return is higher.

        The case I’m referring to is in the future if Steam badly enshittified.
