You see that both numbers end with an even number and divide by 2 … 8 times. 2 is one of the easiest common divisors to find. Along with /10 if both end with 0 or /5 if one ends 5 and the other 5 or 0. In this case it’s a lucky example, usually you don’t find the GCD with just dividing by 2. But you actually only asked about common divisors and you can see 2, 5 and 10 in decimal

I love reducing fractions, because I’m way too lazy to do mental calculations with big numbers. You can reduce in multiple steps.

I was even so lazy to first write 3.5 3.5 2 0.5 2 2 / 2 1.5 2.5 1 = 1.5 4 3.5 0 3.5 1 / 1 0.5 3.5 3 … (then wrote it without the space, but then you have to know that .NM has to be replaced with N+M; it was less to type). I only did the last step fully in my head

Why did you take them back? … Ooooh

I doubt it tbh. Valve had their difficulties with Proton. They have a server infrastructure to convert videos for which they can’t ship codecs without getting in a patent grey area. GOG would need to do that too or have a completely different approach to Proton, since Valve wants it to work without any external dependencies a user would need to install.

To be fair, they got burned with the response to their Wine "port" of one of their Witcher games. It’s not a port, but a preconfigured and tested Wine setup is still better. That made it very clear that they either have to make it completely right or not at all, so they picked the latter.
