Quoting: SolitaryLinux gamers aren't that different from other people. If some game is so dead that nobody has been playing it then I doubt there is any significant number of Linux gamers waiting for it...

you wait 10 years to play an game, then the argument become:
oh, its an old game, no one play it anymore.

yeah, it wasnt so old back then ¬¬
"not even linux users play it"
maybe we would if it runs.

sigh, i understand the valve side, but its frustrating to wait so long for something to work, only to realize it was in vain.

" I tried pulling it out and putting it in to no avail, then, I engaged "nostalgia mode" and gave it a wipe and blew on it — this worked!"

LOL, now we definitely need custom cover arts for microSD...
someone is working on it i cant remember who

Quoting: SolitaryRealistically, there is no rush to cover entire catalogue, because not all games are being actually played or have been played by any significant number of gamers in recent time (especially if those games are not a good fit for Deck anyways). Nobody really waits for the Deck rating of the Asset Flip #345: The Sequel. If Valve rates all games that cover 95% (or more) of all Steam users/owners they are good as finished and that might not be such a big task, the rest they can slowly do over the years or just change the methodology by then.

The number of games is inflated, let's be honest.

i agree that assetflips dont make a difference, but there is a bunch of high quality games that people dont play anymore because they already got tired of the countless hours playing it or moved to sequels

that is especially bad for those like me who waited those games to run on linux to play then.

they dont want to reveal the numbers, according to some interviews where they chose not talk about it.

this information is strategic, grow too fast and it will raise atention, other companies may act quick to compete.
grow to slow and you dont generate any momentum.
they dont want anyone learning from their mistakes, but i think its hard to hide this kind of info forever.

some stores like googleplay and itch.io seem to accept any shit without certification.
but that can be remended with the thing called "editors choice" "recomended apps"

that is a bit similiar to the atual situation, verified and playable are like the "editors choice", and everything else that dont work but might work if you look at protonDB, is the equivalent of "search for yourself among this sea of crap"

the microSD card are formated as ext4 or something that only linux can read, right?
its possible to have multiple partitions, one of then being ext4 for the steamdeck, other being something that windows support so you can still use the microSD to store music and stuff and maybe transfer then to deck using windows?
its possible to copy the windows version of an game to the microSD then let steamplay download the required proton version to run it?

what an double edge sword, in one side we had the problem were linux/mac users could only play with/against other linux/mac users.
now we have this upside of being the only ones who could play it online...

and people still criticize feral, lol
