Description
Feature Request
I confirm:
- that I haven't found another request for this feature.
- that I have checked whether there are updates for my system available that
contain this feature already.
Description
Provide binary downloads of Proton releases through GitHub that do not require distribution through Steam.
Justification
This would encourage adoption of Proton by non-Steam clients, such as the itch.io client, which abandoned the effort after having trouble getting it to build (https://github.com/itchio/itch/issues/433#issuecomment-426320887).
