Quoting: rustybroomhandleAw Witcher 3, so close. You can do it buddy! Kidding, it's nice that Valve are applying some standards.
I think it's a great way to motivate the devs to push a small update and get that green tick. We'll see how effective it is, though.

Quoting: GuestI knew the whole "just flip a switch, it'll just work" thing would be shown to be nonsense, and it is. Why should we expect small teams to go through all the effort to support a game for a tiny fraction of the market? It's just selfish.
That's ok, browsing the store on Steam Deck will only show supported games by default, so users won't even know what they're "missing". Plenty to choose from anyway.

While I'd like to see all the games work on Linux, I don't think many people would actually play competitive shooters on Steam Deck, so things may not change that much in this genre.

Impossible, everyone knows that valve is doing nothing but taking the 30% cut for no reason whatsoever. :tongue:

> do you expect the Steam Deck to push Steam player numbers even higher?

It will surely push the number of on-line users and probably also in-game players, even if the game will be paused and the deck laid aside.
