Quoting: scaineBut "Coming Soon" are a bit of a pain when "Soon" turns into literal years. Remember The Last Night?? I only removed that from my wishlist late last year! 6 years! Even the copy-cat game Replaced is still "Coming soon" after 3 years. What a mess.

Proton 9.0 now in Beta with improved game compatibility for Steam Deck / Linux

Quoting: sonic2kkBuilds of Proton that use Wine 9.x with Wayland enabled (as in enabled at build time and also properly enabled in the prefix), are able to use the Wayland backend, but seemingly not within Steam for some reason.
Probably missing the necessary Wayland libs in the steam-runtime container.

Upcoming GZDoom shooter Selaco will have Steam Workshop support

Quoting: JarmerThis is easily one of my most anticipated games. One thing I didn't know though: the upcoming launch is the EA launch ... I totally thought it was the final game launching. Oh well ... I hope it goes well for them but I'll be waiting until full release.
The dev chimed in on the EA launch in a previous article here:

"I can't stress enough that the Early Access build can be considered a full game by itself. Our goal is *not* to deliver only a fraction of the game before we launch the rest, its an approach to Early Access that I personally dislike. We do the opposite."

and a lot more details in the original EA announcement [External Link].

I'm on the fence myself, buy on launch or wait?

There's no experimental branch for 9 yet, so Proton 9 is newer.
