   Kind of frustrating that serval gaming outlets are calling the Oct 28 release of Death by Scrolling a "Windows PC" release while totally ignoring (forgetting) it also includes the native Mac and Linux. We worked hard to fully support all three platforms.

     I lost that war a long time ago.

     I would reply to every press team who did it, asking them to be clearer if they meant specifically Windows. Most didn't reply, some replied to note their actual refusal to change their wording.

     Made worse in a way by Steam Deck / Proton, because now I have to clarify at times about Proton or Native Linux - and usually PR teams have no fucking idea the Steam Deck is Linux.

     @grumpygamer welcome to the unfortunate fight @gamingonlinux has had to have for almost a lifetime. That and calling Windows "PC"

     @mdiluz @grumpygamer Also funny that some news sites still say things like "Valve's Proton OS" 🤦♂️
