Quoting: emphyNot a fan of the dlc-spamming. Especially at release (and even during the early access?).

Still interested, but going to wait for a lower sales price.
There's two, and they're mutually-exclusive. That's spam now? If you don't want the portraits to be anime characters, and you don't want the portraits to be furries, don't buy either of the DLCs. Doesn't seem difficult to me.

Quoting: Liam DaweHuh really? First I've heard of that. In a way it makes sense but it's probably more work to do that than just show it for everyone and people who can't get it / not bothered just ignore it.
Grady mentioned it to us in the Discord. It doesn't make any sense to me to have bothered doing that, either.

Quoting: M@GOidI wished they show this on the Store page, so when I tempted to buy a game that does not have a native Linux port (I may or may not had broken a promise...), I don't need to refund it later because it doesn't work on Proton.
They've listed this on the store page for a long time. It's down the right hand side.
For some reason Valve decided not to show that information to users in countries where the Deck isn't officially sold. Is M@GOid in one of those countries?

Some other plans are in progress too like a paid asset store and merchandise.
Merch is quite straightforward - GOL has that, too [External Link] - but a paid asset store is a gnarly problem to solve. It can be lucrative - as seen with Unity and Unreal Engine - but it does take a lot of resources to keep the whole thing running.

Quoting: BloomberyWhat is "unknown", Linux?
Unidentified Windows version; it mirrors the identified Windows version exactly. They're really one signal.

Proton Experimental brings fixes for Gears 5, Overwatch 2, Phasmophobia

I got Gears 5 in a bundle with a bunch of games that I was much more interested in, so I wasn't bothered that it didn't work. If it works now I might give it a go at some point. It's a chonker download, though.

Is there a particular bug you're hoping to be solved soon?
The notification spam on Steam Deck is really annoying.
Don't know how it is on the deck, but the newfangled client has a whole section of the settings dedicated to notification finetuning.

I've all notifications disabled that can be, and haven't seen a single one cropping up since.
It doesn't matter which ones you turn off. Friend comes online, you make progress towards an achievement (not just getting the achievement), and everything else all pop up the notification bell on the Deck.
