Spider-Man 2 is one of my favorite games ever. So glad it was no PS exclusive, and that they finally knocked off the PS account shitfuckery.

It's hard to find good news these days so I will hold on to whatever I can get.

Well, for me GOG and its existence is one of the good news in gaming, so check that out if you didn't yet!

It would be good news if there were any games on there I actually wanted to buy, or if they supported Proton.

And please don't mention Heroic or Lutris because they barely work either. Steam is the only one that works 100% of the time.

ITT: everyone wants to lie about Heroic and Lutris.

Odd, been enjoying Silksong and earlier Baldur's Gate 3 via Heroic (GOG) and it just works on Linux. Not sure what the 'barely works' part you are talking about is. Hell, half the games I buy are through GOG now. Only one I had to do anything for is Breath of Fire IV, which isn't even offered on Steam...

The part where it barely works. Like maybe 50% of the time. Often enough to not even bother with it and just get my games on Steam where they're always available and always work.

Do you have specific examples of games that didn't work for you?

I don't keep a log but off the top of my head, Deathloop and Cygni
