Ah Cicada season. I can imagine the constant loud buzz/noise now.

I see where you're coming from. I'm just preferring to enjoy the silver lining given how uncommon that is.

Them selling games makes direct profit. Them improving a compatibility layer for another operating system creates more potential customers, sure. But it also lets people play most of their games from elsewhere too.

Proton isn't a direct cash generator, it's a fortunate bonus of them having so much money and nobody else to answer to.

Who said anything about them not making cash. Just that it isn't their soul purpose. Their contributions to proton and stuff are helpful to everyone.

Legit, try talking. It isn't fun to start but you'll have a more solid answer to decide what you want. One thing I've learnt is communication isn't always easy, but you can often settle things that have been left unspoken.

If it turns out you both want different things, you have your answer.
