Lets get back to reality here. Epic bought Rocket League. They said they wouldn't change anything during the purchase. 6 months later there is no more linux client.

You're telling me that because I can emulate the game it still exists. If I accept this premise than literally all games are linux games and the concept of platform goes out the window. It's absurd.

Proton is a compatibility layer (just like WINE), not an emulator, unless you're planning to play on ARM64. It's just like using VKD3D or MoltenGL instead of using a native graphics API, plenty of games do that.

They're letting you play the game you paid for. I can understand being unhappy about the loss of a Linux client, but by all reports the Proton version runs better, so what's the actual problem other than your ideology? Epic is a corporation, not a religion.
