Almost nothing is ever really done on any filesystem when you press “delete”. The only thing is that those physical parts of the disk with the “deleted” file are marked as “not in use”. The data is there still unchanged, until you save something else and that spot on the disk is the first free spot available for saving that new file.

So, if you accidentally delete files, make sure that nothing gets saved on that disk anymore, not even by the OS. So, either unmount the disk, or cut the power to your computer, or whatever. Then learn how to mount hard drives as read-only and how to mark the “not in use” spots on your disk as “this spot contains this file”.

This is why proper deletion of files always includes filling the disk with random data. As long as nothing has been written on top of where the file was (and in reality: still is), it’s still there. Only access to it has been removed, but that access can be regained. Been there, done that.

It would make sense that developers would support their game as played through Proton, which is not really that different from just making a proper linux-native game. It should work just as fast both ways.

Assuming the fine isn’t progressive, of course.

Over here in Finland fines for any but the minor offences are defined in percents of income, not in fixed sums of money. There have been cases of traffic fines of several hundreds of thousands for going 30 km/h over the speed limit. That makes them a punishment for very richest people as well, not only for the lower class.

Breaking anti-bribery laws of a country is illegal, no matter whether they are enforced in some other country or not. Of course Microsoft can break the law and then keep paying large fines until they decide to no longer break the law.
