Feral don't really support any of their Linux stuff anymore, so don't ever expect any of it on GOG for that reason, plus the already mentioned reason of GOG not splitting platform purchases like Feral would want.

They mostly seem to do mobile stuff now. While Aspyr moved to do remasters. Things sure have changed a lot in the last few years.

Throw in the lack of trackpads, confusing branding and Windows and I'd be surprised if these aren't dead on arrival.

There's still apparently a market, the even more expensive Legion Go 2 had various pre-orders cancelled due to demand being too high.

Much like with the explosion of survivor-likes, a few select games initially came along looking good and did well and just reinvigorated the genre I think.

I'll still agree to disagree, pretty much every genre is just filling up every year. You just see a slice of what I'm interested in covering here, so there is a bias involved in how much you see :)

You could say that about pretty much any genre now though, there's more games releasing every year, so every genre is just expanding.

From SteamDB release years:

2025 - 16514 (so far)
2024 - 18326
2023 - 13587
2022 - 11729
2021 - 10751

As for this specific genre, I disagree. They've been some of the big hits on Steam. Look at Ultrakill, it's not even out of Early Access and has over 150,000 user reviews.

Has someone tried the steamdeck=1 launch option on Linux Desktop?

As stated in the article, due to the way it's setup, it will only currently download on Steam Deck.

It does not affect GOG at all, this is for Steam Deck.

No, you cannot install the Native build on Desktop, it is tagged for Linux+Steam Deck so it only downloads on Steam Deck.

Yes, article updated to note this. Force Proton on it manually.
