Quoting: Beamboom

When it comes to what platform developers are most interested in, Linux sat at 7%.

So not just interested in, but most interested in? As in, rating it above the other platforms? Really?
It's so I wonder if this either is misquoted or the question misunderstood...!

But if not, that's... pretty darn great!

Yes, most interested in but not above all others.

The full question was "Which platform(s) most interest you as a developer right now? (Choose all that apply)" and Linux got 7% for that.

Quoting: CatKillerOne thing that I'd like developers to do is confirm that if their game is running through Proton and is Deck Verified, that they are also testing their game through Proton themselves - especially before they release updates. It would make a big difference to how much money I'm willing to give them. Hopefully they won't want to lose their nice checkmark, so they will test, but if they don't say they're testing then I'm going to assume that they're not.

The problem is really Valve's marketing there on how they tell developers stuff should just run. However, the more developers that get a Steam Deck and the more players that get one, developers will inevitably be forced to actually test with Proton.

Quoting: CatKillerWhile I think that's likely true for these titles, it's not actually strictly the case in general; it would be what you get by default on the Steam Deck.

That's it exactly. Valve can set whatever they want for the Steam Deck. Verified does not mean native and does not mean Proton. It means whatever Valve set and test.

Quoting: JpxsonHere's how to sort on SteamDB:

• All verified games: https://steamdb.info/search/?a=app_keynames&type=-1&keyname=530&operator=1&keyvalue=%22category%22%3A%223%22 [External Link]


• All playable games: https://steamdb.info/search/?a=app_keynames&type=-1&keyname=530&operator=1&keyvalue=%22category%22%3A%222%22 [External Link]


• All not working games: https://steamdb.info/search/?a=app_keynames&type=-1&keyname=530&operator=1&keyvalue=%22category%22%3A%221%22 [External Link]

You are too powerful.

Quoting: EikeDo you have a link for the other Steam Deck categories as well?

None that I've found. SteamDB don't have one setup for it yet it seems, the other titles that are in Playable I found simply by scrolling the store in tablet mode.

Quoting: wvstolzingI've heard that Kotick is slated to replace Satya Nadella. Could that be true?

Sounds like complete horseshit to me. Whoever said that has no idea what they're talking about.

Update: Kotick will remain, a Microsoft spokesperson confirmed via email.

Quoting: syylkWell, most Blizzard products were known to run well under WINE since dirt was invented - to the point of speculating if somebody internally was smoothing them at the edges on purpose to keep some sort of unsupported-but-working compatibility...

Wasn't speculation. In the past the WoW team did implement things here and there to smoothen running it in Wine. I don't have a source to hand but it was in public postings from their team on their official forum.

Quoting: hagabakaYour article, just like the notice from Humble, mentioned that Mac and Linux downloads will be no longer available for Humble Trove games. But since the new Windows-only client will be required to access your collection, I can only assume this also applies to games in your whole collection including those purchased with bundles.

There is absolutely nothing that says you need the Humble App for anything other than Trove / Vault and their new collection, not to be confused with the normal main part of Humble Choice..
