32bit does need to go but we’re at a time where a lot of people are switching their main PCs or gaming PCs over to Fedora to get ahead of Windows 10 EoS. The timing in this change couldn’t be worse (even if it’s two versions ahead.)
It’s bad PR to break Steam and gaming at this time. Valve needs to sort this out on their end but the Fedora Project needs to check in with their users to see what they’re using on Fedora.
Also loved the gaslighting at the end. Very Linux dev.
It is 32bit and depends on a runtime from a really old version of Ubuntu. It is also proprietary but that is a different issue.
It would be nice if Value worked with the Fedora project to build something open and modern so that devs could easily package games for Linux. The problem is that Value wants everyone to go though Steam as Steam is where they actually make money. People like to see Value as the good guy but it isn’t all sunshine and rainbows. I can’t really blame them in the end but it is important to realize they have a interest that may not always align with the community.

Steam is kind of junk if you look into how it actually works
Value needs to get its stuff together
Go on
