Having a decent cross-platform modding tool is going to be such a big boost. Not just specifically for us, but also for people moving between platforms to be able to use the same familiar tool. I'm really hopeful about this one and it's looking good but slow going.

Proton Experimental updated with fixes for Battle.net, Atelier Resleriana, Dirt Rally 2 and more

If they had said how much, I would have noted it in the article.

Update #2 8:07PM: seems Valve got the message, and they've updated it. The Steam Deck on the weekly global top seller for the week beginning January 14th was actually 4th, not 47th.
