just remember that checking the electric fence is very similar to a prisoners dillema.

if you check it, youre in the right and if the fence no longer works its a win situation

but if the fence still works you're not only experiencing the immediate pain, there will also be long term consequences to how you program yourself

You're right, it's definitely a prisoner's dilemma. Except in this version, the punishment is usually just awkwardness, and the reward is sometimes igniting life changing connections. It's asymmetrical reward.

afaik games are not considered money. and steam points are not considered money either. only withdrawable credits (casinos/online payment apps) are considered as money

Steam pays developers their cut from sales, which is probably what they’re referring to.

Yes, steam isn't holding the customers money, but the developers money.

Is this some form of wine-wrapping? Or do these people code the windows emulation themselves?

All of these on-top-of-wine solutions are always a cat and mouse chase when a game or app is updated. You end up with several days to weeks and sometimes eternity to get some configuration fix

Count me as a person who could never figure out how to directly use WINE. All of the special configuration knowledge is seemingly spread across dozens of forum posts. Best case, you will find some obscure post which ends with, "Never mind, figured it out!"

I have been using Bottles for a while now, and it has been painless to launch a few necessary Windows programs.

I found back in the day the best documentation for how to run X with Wine was to read the lutris source for that app.

Did it for Overwatch

I think so, I mean it's called Bottles. It looks like a GUI for Wine that doesn't give Wine enough credit for doing the real work. I have a feeling it just runs Wine.

Or be like me, and get Counterstrike almost working, but with some show stopping bug, continually for a decade, before giving up gaming for good only for steam Linux to be released.

if it makes you feel any better i doubt cs runs on steam Linux

Considering that Valve has a native Linux release for Counter Strike (as well as all their other titles), I doubt you looked much into this.

yeah to be fair i last looked 5 years ago.. how did they resolve anticheat? last i tried VAC was kind of a showstopper. if its evolved thats awesome

I think they basically just gave up. From what I hear VAC is a bit of a joke.

Every Valve game released has a native Linux version. That includes every counter strike game.

But that’s only occurred in the last ~5 years, no?

Kind of. Valve started actively porting their stuff in 2013, around the time Microsoft released Windows 8 and rumors started flying around that you'll only be able to use Windows Store to download apps.

So, way over 5 years. But time flies by fast.

The Bottles Flatpak uses the Wine flatpak as its base, which means it should be relatively soon up to date with the latest wine version

1. Amusing title 2. Yea it sounds like a smug and shitty company But 3. If I get some parking ticket or some small wrong doing I am totally going to consult with GPT before I go ahead and hire a lawyer. A well trained AI could definitely do the work of most lawyers better than they could. Lawyers and judges usually just recite rules, previous cases and known loopholes. They are a human search engine and they cost quite a bit.
