Why games aren’t offering native support anymore.

This week, we’ve seen many games DROPPING Linux support… so why am I not concerned? Plus, Proton Experimental delivers some fixes for a few favorite games. Manjaro teases their upcoming OrangePi Neo handheld with an hour long video. And: what if there was a cloud gaming service that didn’t completely suck? We’ll explore an exciting new option. Plus details on the big giveaway I’m sponsoring! All this and more today!
