End of an era...

I'll have to see what happens though. The Humble Bundle goes out and finds some of the most unique experiences imo.

Assuming they still hand out Steam keys, I'll still be a customer. The day I can only download games via another launcher, I'm done.

Same - I run Linux exclusively and so far Steam Proton works great. If I have to use their launcher for games, I'm out.

It feels oddly hostile, as in their intentionally trying to lock out Linux users.

I imagine many of the bigger games, only run on Windows. But they should just communicate this, don't force people use a new application.

Humble has given me some of my favorite game experiences so I'm going to give them a few months to sort themselves out
