i was expecting more triple A games, i wonder if they will update this list daily, weekly or what...

well, those are the ones i care about:

Castle Crashers (finished this eons ago, no surprise here)
Celeste (native, no surprise)
Cuphead (a bit ironic)
" DARK SOULS " 2 and 3 but not the first one? (speaking of it, i wonder why its taking so long for an DS4... maybe their new ip wich is too darksouls like is taking their time.
"Death Stranding" Sony wont make an new PSP/PSV, so the next best thing for sony fans is to get an deck.
its a bit surprising that we can run an game from the last gen home consoles on a portable machine already.
" Final Fantasy" the first one of all things??
"HOT WHEELS UNLEASHED™" i dont hear much about this one on the discussions about racing games, but the company behind it made a lot of games.
"Hollow Knight" native, no surprise.
"Mad Max" ironic, this game used to have an native version
Manifold Garden
"Portal 2" valve game, obligatory
"Psychonauts 2" its owned by MSFT nowadays, so its a bit ironic.
SCARLET NEXUS
Sekiro™: Shadows Die Twice
Tetris® Effect: Connected (im tired of tetris but maybe this spin can be fun again)
The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth
Total War: WARHAMMER II (tons of warhammer games are native, no surprise)
Tunche (wait a hat in time kid is in this one too? why i never heard of it?)

Quoting: PhlebiacManufacturing compatible hardware seems like opening the door to lawsuits; Nintendo in particular likes to lawyer up.

While I agree, Nintendo isn't making NES, SNES, N64 or Gamecube consoles anymore. And since this is hardware that depends on physical media (cartridges/discs etc) Nintendo has no legal standing to prevent them unless RetroArch screw up and copy BIOS code etc which I don't see them doing.

they made nes mini and snes mini recently, and put an n64 emulator on switch...

Do they take their respective cartridges?

no, but it affect their business model, not sure on how an lawyer would interpret that

valve said they will consider other color options if it sell well enough...
maybe they contacted valve and are planing to share the risks of not having an return of investment in diversifying options for steam deck...

not only colors but the whole plate

xbox division dont have this kinda money AFAIK, so i guess the main microsoft company is involved, i doubt its to compete against sony and nintendo, this probably is their answer to valve.

which is so much money I can't even begin to imagine it.

My guess is that it's an answer to Tencent acquisitions more than an answer to Valve. The US government as become pretty chilly, across the board, with China acquiring US interests, lately. Microsoft seems pretty fine with Valve and the Steam Deck.

microsoft main sources of revenue are:
office, azure and windows.
if steamOS can steal some marketshare from windows they will cut the good guys facade, if it cant, then microsoft wins anyway.

Quoting: fagnerlnI don't know why you guys are worried, Activision/Blizzard is a cancer, a lot of bad practices. (I read that Diablo 2 ressurected has some "check in DRM" which you need to login every 30 days to keep playing)

And the first party games usually works on proton.

I mean, the war is against Sony, which to be honest, even with that huge amount of studios, PlayStation is still more interesting than XBox.

im worried about this:

i may not care about actblizz games, but someone else do, and this person may care about the same games that i do, and if such person refuse to use linux on their steamdeck, because linux cant play actblizz games, then its one less person using steamOS on the deck, wich means one less reason for companies to care about it, if that include one company who make games that i care about, then their future relases might not work as well...
