That might not be an issue forever though but you get the idea, it can and will happen.

I don’t want to seem like I’m being a “debbie downer” (remember my starting statement, I really do like Steam Play) but it’s already happened with multiple titles that stopped working due to changes with Easy Anti-Cheat like Darwin Project, Paladins and Pandemic Express. There’s also the idea of vendor lock-in here, Steam Play is all open on GitHub which is fantastic but again, how many are likely to go and pull it themselves for their games to put them on other stores for Linux? I’m betting about zero. Being realistic here, it’s not like a game developer is going to go and help fix up Steam Play themselves when part of the reason a developer is even using Steam Play, is so they don’t do the Linux side themselves.

You may end up waiting a day, a week, a month or perhaps longer if a game update or a Steam Play update breaks a game. The support with Steam Play is supposed to be on Valve’s end, although technically only for titles that are in the Steam Play whitelist which hasn’t seen an update since December last year and Marble It Up! Is not on that list. Support is the biggest problem, we still don’t really know how things will go down in future when games stop working. The latter obviously being extremely important, since if a game update breaks the Linux version then as a paying customer I would expect something to be looked into and fixed up.

I want a game that both works and is supported. So - would you really? Would you switch to a different Linux distro if yours wasn't supported?”įor me personally, it’s not a case of a game needing to be “native”, I’m so long past caring about the internals of a game.

One part I found particularly interesting was this statement: “Is a truly native Linux worth it you that you would pay 15-25% more for games that had it? I've seen a lot of people say that but when it came down to it they just really wanted it to be free like Linux. They mention plenty more types of games and how they could package it up with Proton themselves and all the points are very interesting. They also directly mentioned Tropico 6 too, which apparently works better with Steam Play/Proton than the native version, although ProtonDB only has one report to say so. The developer goes on to mention how Unity games aren’t technically native “no Unity game is able to run as fully native code”, how Feral Interactive (made a lot of AAA Linux ports) have their own graphics emulation layer, games like Curious Expedition that use Electron and so on. To be clear though, that’s only from four tests so far. This means it should be click and play, like any other game.

Note: On ProtonDB, the unofficial website where people can rate how well Windows games work on Linux with Steam Play, Marble It Up! has a “Platinum” rating. I think you'll like the game and there is no risk to you.

I guess technically the game is not Linux native but if you can play it with one click, I'm not sure there's a lot to argue about. This seems to have caused this particular developer to go on a little rant, where they gave some reasons why. Now, onto the topic at hand…Īfter the developer suggested the use of Steam Play, one user said “OK but that's not Linux support” and mentioned how they won’t buy it for that. This is meant to highlight some issues facing future Linux support as a gaming platform and as a talking point. I’ll get something out of the way first: I think Steam Play is great, I do use it but I appreciate it’s a complicated subject for many reasons and some people don’t want to use it. Now and then I come across a game on Steam where I ask in the Steam forum about possible Linux support, Marble It Up! is one such game but the developer has decided to let Valve handle it with Steam Play.
