predictable.
now everything is on deck, its will be a big sucess, no questionsa bout it, the pre sale numbers already showed this (110k / 90 minutes, roughly 1 million a day maybe more) the question is:
will deck users install windows on it? or not?
if they do, then we will rely on proton forever to get more games, if they dont, then we finally can break the curse, the chicken and egg problem.

valve is puting the eggs out there, now we just need the chicken.
or its the opposite?

"Hello! I am Joshua Ashton and I like frogs. 🐸 I also work on DXVK, VKD3D-Proton and other graphics related stuff."
that frog reminds me of something


and that randomness reminds me of my self for some reason.

"but I will do the odd cleanup, issue investigation or feature implementation"
i'm impressed with my self for understanding what he means.

"I like that I get to work on a lot of different things, from DXVK and VKD3D-Proton, Vulkan Spec work, RADV, the back catalogue games and more -- I have a lot of trouble just working on one thing for a long time having the ability to move around helps me a lot."
looks like the industry has an place for people with TDAH like me

"If I was handed the game ported without ToGL, then in theory it would actually be easier in the end as DXVK Native is entirely drop-in and it just works, as it doesn’t require any of these workarounds."
that explain why valve gave up on convincing developers to do the half baked , semi native semi emulation port that they were using.
to just rely on proton instead.

I guess I found the wrong video, but still quite interesting:
Valve Steam Deck Spec Analysis: Can It Really Handle AAA PC Gaming? [External Link]
("Proton really needs to deliver!")

yes, wrong video, the video that i saw had ~1 hour, but just an small part of it was performance test

i wonder what they mean by run...
run without all the features (cutscenes from guilty gear, sound effects from trackmania etc) count as run? because according to protonDB it count, i hope they arent taking this site serious and they are doing some serious QA with an version of proton that isnt avaliable yet for public consumption (but i dont know what they would do that, maybe to caught microsoft by surprised and not let then have any time to react? wishfull thinking)

You already had that with PS4 and PS5. Wish you luck with games for BSD on PCs, but you'd need something like Amazon throwing all their might behind it, I fear.

it was an joke.

but couting ps4 is not much different from counting stadia, nes mini, playstation classic, sega Lindbergh arcades, sega game gear, as linux devices.

speaking of it, look how many devices we have!
all those mentioned above, android, atari vcs, steam deck.
and in the past sony officialy supported linux on ps2 and ps3

Quoting: TeodosioI would like to see a new game from Valve, released on GNU/Linux only.

Exclusives are bad.

......
i would love to see valve make something exclusive and ask gamers to direct their anger toward sony/nintendo/microsoft for locking mac/linux users out of their content for so long, be mad at then, not us, if they stop doing it, we will stop.
.......

You really want Valve to become so toxic as to make people bully other companies?
Do you think that would be good for anyone?

And... if you bully someone because they also bullied you... then expect to also get the same treatment in return, because by your "logic" you deserve it.

Gee... the internet is become more toxic every day. Nothing we didn't already knew but I thought the (Gaming on) Linux community was at least a little bit better than that.

toxic? toxic is seen gamers treat microsoft as if they were the heroes here, i call it stocolm symdrom.
microsoft forced people to use their system to play games for far too many time, now microsft started to port their own games to pc and people see then as heroes, as if they were fighting against exclusives, but they completely ignore that those games are avaliable for windows only, they see pc and windows as the samething and pc as an open platform.

people say they are against exclusives, but if sony and nintendo didnt made exclusives, then everything would be windows exclusive, if people were really against exclusives they should have supported an platform like linux that didnt did exclusives (aside from things that are impossible to do on windows like changing the desktop enviroment)
but no, they say they are against exclusives because they want to own an system and play anything, but they are unwilling to break the exclusivity of their own system by supporting another system until it grow its marketshare enough to have support from the thirdy parties.

its easy to say you are against exclusive when you already dominated the market, as microsoft pretend they are doing, they know that in an world without exclusivity deals, the company who have the biggeset marketshare will get exclusives by sheer market dominance, so they pretend they are against it because that would benefit then.

if some one is against it, they should prove that its possible to win, to get support from thirdy parties and users without it, but it has been proven again and again that it isnt, so i dont see why we should be the only ones to suffer from that.
valve should do what epic is doing, pressure microsoft into being consumer/developer friendly, in exchange for they doing the samething.
"do the right thing and we do the samething"
and even that would be too nice of valve, they have no obligation of doing it after developing an solution to break that lock-in that microsoft refused to break thenselves.
