Quoting: Cybolichow I'm hurting Nintendo when I play the Wii U games that I physically have on my shelf, on my Steam Deck instead of dragging the console out of storage?
Simple. You don't.
PS: You may wish to drag the console out of the storage, Wii U's may self destruct if unused for a long time.

Quoting: ShmerlI see. Does it give better framerate or less stutter or something else?
GPL optimizes shader compilation so it reduces stutter. It does nothing once all shaders are compiled. The difference it makes is huge, though.
