Subnautica 2 arrives in Early Access in 2025 with 4 player co-op
18 Oct 2024 at 2:54 pm UTC

Subnautica wasn't one of those where I would say "this needed a sequel", not sure what else they can do here, especially with Below Zero being not really worthwhile. Co-op could be cool, but I think one of the first game's biggest strengths is the isolation and lonely nature, though since it looks like multiplayer is a big focus here, it could be interesting.

Not really interested.

GTA V / GTAOnline highlights Steam Deck's verification system has problems
21 Sep 2024 at 6:52 am UTC

Nice writeup, this made me realise why I subconsiously go straight to protobdb and never bother with Valve's verification system, and unfortunately I think that's probably our best bet for the problem for now; community contribution (as always with Linux, lol).

What I mean is, I think the solution to the problems of the Valve verification system are very expensive if not unfeasible. Like the article says, it's all on Valve, so to add more work to it on their side (for example, periodically re-test games or after every patch) is a little difficult to imagine, what's even more difficult and basically impossible to imagine is developers themselves supporting and testing for Proton, I've come to the conclusion that none of the big players care that much for the Steam Deck, sure they'll fix a bug or two, but that's as far as it goes. New game patch is out, but it breaks something on the Deck? Good luck getting that fixed any time soon, this'd basically require an internal team designsted to Steam Deck, which again, I don't think any of the big name developers will bother. The Deck is just too small of a platform for them to care for. Indie games will support the Deck/Proton if not make a Natibe build altogther, so no worry about those.

The interface is so clean yet I always feel dirty using it. Just not for me.

Is BattlEye compatible with Steam Deck?
Yes, it is.
Steam Deck does not support BattlEye for GTA Online.
Untrue and misleading.

Microsoft Windows kernel changes don't suddenly mean big things for Linux gaming

Way easier. Linux is what you give your parents so that you don't need to do Windows tech support.
If Nvidia gave 1.5 shits and make a not-embarrassing driver, I would say the experience across the board would infact be piss easy, plug and play.
