Here we go again. One game I was excited about was the upcoming Mecha BREAK, which currently has a playtest demo on Steam but they've added in anti-cheat.

Due Process from developer Giant Enemy Crab uses Easy Anti-Cheat that previously blocked Linux (and so Steam Deck too), but they've now enabled Linux players to jump in.
