Valve aren't putting any exclusives on the Steam Machine because they see "the whole PC catalog as our 'launch exclusive'"

Oh, i acknowledge there is a place for Windows in corporate settings, and for the people who don't have any clue about what they are doing. Like i said, I used Windows most of my life. No need to get underhanded if you run out of arguments, just concede.
I read something like this: "'I have tested around 15k PC titles on my 5950x with either a 3070ti or an 5070" and am called 'underhanded'.
-Poppycock! You're not going to test games properly at that rate. The frame timing issue with Trail-Out doesn't occur until late in the game and isn't anywhere near obvious, until you research it. I spent 2 hours trying to beat an unbeatable time trial (when I was excellent at the game and had been doing the runs better than tutorials showing success). -That issue was only fixed recently by WINE devs (not Proton).
You're relying on 'feelings', 'emotions', and personal experience (affected by sunk cost fallacies). You're not here to discuss tech, but to evangelize. Anything I've said is basically a search away to confirm the issue. All you're doing is handwaving.
The frame timing issue is something that affected many games btw, especially rythm games, but also time trial racing games.
Implying they cant load a save from late in the game. Why'd you venture outside of your c/linuxsucks comm?
You started insulting me by implying i am a bigot. That was underhanded and neither necessary nor called for.
I have just too much time on my hands for my own good, i concede that much, but i don't have much else to do. I am a very reclusive person, and since i have been pensioned a few years ago, collecting and playing games has been my main activity, so i play whatever i can get my hands on. I invest more time than most people invest into their jobs.
Frame pacing hasn't been an issue for me either, but i am someone preferring stable 60/75/90 FPS over unstable 180 FPS; I normally limit my frame rate somewhere between the 10% and a bit below the 1% FPS, depending on game type (TBS doesn't need perfect pacing); I am also not a fan of Framegen (although limited upscaling can be nice in some cases, where 1440p isn't buttery smooth)
I don't finish every game, but that isn't needed to get a very good overview regarding general compatibility of games on Linux.
An edge case in a single game, like you just mentioned, is NOT an overview. (Especially one with max. 40 players per day in the last months max, which, with the current OS distribution means there is about a single Linux User per day out there.)
And then you whine AFTER the issue has been fixed? Sorry, but that is simply pathetic when taking into account that effectively the whole history of PC gaming has to be verified as working and patched if not, and they are doing a damn good job. Next time instead of bitching report the bug or fix it yourself.
This has nothing to do with "Feelings and Emotions", except in your case, because you are still whining over something that has already been fixed, and from your report, it was a whole bunch of fixes at once.
