Consenting Glorious Eggroll for providing Proton-GE and GE-Proton

Open TheEvilSkeleton opened this issue 2 years ago • 3 comments

This was reported by @RaduAvramescu. It seems like Glorious Eggroll, the maintainer of Proton-GE, is quite against third parties using Proton-GE outside of Steam, and recommends to use wine-ge-custom. Or so that's the impression I get.

In the README:

(1) RUNNING NON-STEAM GAMES WITH PROTON OUTSIDE OF STEAM IS NOT SUPPORTED. DO NOT ASK FOR HELP WITH THIS:

I suggest to either drop later versions of Proton-GE altogether, or the preferable approach to contact Glorious Eggroll. If we take the latter approach, I suggest to openly ask them so we can easily link the proof, in case anyone wants to use it against us. I do not mind writing them an email or pinging them. Perhaps even contact them on Discord so they can comment here.
