  • Not really, Valve has a dominant market position because they have done no moves to against their consumers (although they did mess of a few times in the past) and have always tried to resolve issues. The other companies keep shooting themselves by continuously implementing anti consumer rules, horrific handling of their customers, or just have the worst implementation of their version of a launcher. Their support behind Proton has been a enormous and the main reason why pretty much every game I own works on Linux.

    Getting back to the case though, the whole reason Steam has that big of a market share is because they seem to care about their customers, create tools that can be used for non steam games (like the controller adapter layer, or Proton).

    So it’s not like the other billion dollar companies can’t, they just won’t create something that comes even close to what Steam is offering in software, hardware and their support behind the products.
















  • VM the program? I know that seting up a Apple VM is nothing easy but that will allow you to just use you preferred OS and run that program in the VM. I use winboat on my Pop_OS! laptop for some software that really needs Windows and does not work well (at all) in wine. I dislike the we know better that you mentality that comes with buying a Mac. Hell the amount of times the update fubar’ed my system because Apple decided to update software that has nothing to do with the OS is too damn high.
