Of course if Valve ever gets around to releasing SteamOS for the desktop then the "Best Gaming OS" debate will be definitively settled.

Not happened to a single decomp so far

Banjo Kazooie should come at some point hopefully since that's 100% decompiled now

Not sure why you disapprove so much over such old games being ported to pc lol
It's not that I disapprove. Rather, we know for a fact that Nintendo will slap this project with a "cease and desist", so those hobbyists are just wasting their time.
Years, decades later, because hobbyists today "wasting" time, people sailing high seas or random ex employee took something home, will be only preserved, archived, existing copies, samples of tech.
Indeed, waste of their time...
In the grand scheme of life, the universe, and everything, yeah, it is.

All I want is a controller with the same layout as the Steam Deck.

I find it hilariously ironic that the best form of game preservation is through piracy.

Here's my Steam review if you want a more comprehensive answer:
