Unity cutting 25% of staff (about 1,800 people) as part of restructuring

Quoting: BrokattJust to illustrate how much of a disaster in leadership this is. Unity went from 4000 employees in 2020 to 7700 in 2022. That's almost doubling in size in two years.
That does sound though like the growth might have been unreasonable in the first place.

I bet most of your "unsupported" games are "Valve is still working on...", which usually means that it works all fine.
This is the site i used yes.. For example EA Sport WRC shows unsupported, but i have been playing it since launch. Clocked 75 hours in it. Sons of the Forest is another one. Works perfectly.
Portal RTX, WRC Generations, WRC 10, Dirt Rally 2.0, RAGE, State of Mind, Mafia, Mafia 3 Definitive Edition, Valley, Project Cars 2, Elder Scroll online just to name few that are marked as unsupported but working without issues on my Linux PC.

But i guess they are somehow unsupported on Steam Deck maybe.

Edit: What i meant that they were tested by valve but marked unsupported i guess due deck incompatibilities?
Yes... no... I mean you can also look up the reason for being unsupported there. There's valid reasons like DRM or whatever, and then there's the reason that Valve is still working on the Steam Deck compatibility. I got no idea what that's supposed to mean, but every single game I got that has got that reason is working on Linux. I didn't test all of them, but I'm quite optimistic they're working on Deck as well.

Quoting: XpanderPretty sure everything i have on my library works on linux. Though i guess there could be few free to play games that have anti-cheat and not working, which i have downloaded.

113 unsupported is way too much though, but its steamdeck verification.

Quoting: pbIn my library:
VERIFIED: 12.43%
PLAYABLE: 23.20%
UNSUPPORTED: 9.84%
UNKNOWN: 54.52%

Not bad at all!
I got these, but it's not moving anymore since months:

VERIFIED: 146 games (34.68%)
PLAYABLE: 155 games (36.82%)
UNSUPPORTED: 27 games (6.41%)
UNKNOWN: 93 games (22.09%)
Of the unsupported, most are "Valve is still working on..." AKA false positives.

MSI teasing a handheld gaming PC like the Steam Deck

Valve has got a second source of money for every sold Steam Deck that nobody else has got, so I guess nobody can compete on their prices using SteamOS. So they have to try something else.

Steam Workshop gets even better with shareable Workshop Collections

Quoting: gradyvuckovicStuff like this is why Steam's still ahead of the pack by a mile on PC.
I can imagine that being very useful for stuff like making sure you and all your friends have the same mods when you play an online game together.
Also "mods on desktop" and "mods on Deck."
Isn't this what users here had wished for just some days ago?!?
