Wonder if they planned the act on Truck Simulator.

Most devs in the company I work for, use Edge now. On MacBooks.

Pre-rendered backgrounds are a delight, but the pixelated 3D graphics hurt in the eyes.

I'd consider this if it had a detachable keyboard and a touchscreen. A tablet-like device with Linux, mainly to read comics and study, would be great to my tech collection.

Valve launches Deck Verified, to show off what games will work well on the Steam Deck

Quoting: ArehandoroFor me, the key point is here:

"System Support - If running through Proton, the game and all its middleware should be supported by Proton. This includes anti-cheat support."

Emphasis is mine.

Does that mean a game can be verified for Windows on Steam Deck but not Linux/Proton? If that's the case, I don't see that going down too well...
No, it means they still can be Linux native.
Thanks, that makes sense :)

Quoting: ArehandoroTo play Steam games offline, even if we were to have ALL games on our HDDs, we would need Goldberg Emulator, which to me is nothing more than another crack to bypass the online features of Steam.

Therefore, saving the difference in features, and not counting all the things Valve have done for the gaming community, etc, requiring Steam to play a game is not different as requiring GfWL.
Maybe I have all the wrong Steam games? Every time I've tried to play a Steam game when I didn't have internet access, it popped up a thing bitching about not being able to contact Steam and asked me if I wanted to play in offline mode; I said yes and played the game. I didn't need a crack or an emulator or whatever. So as far as I can tell, what you're saying just isn't the case.
It doesn't last indefinitely for all the games: https://steamcommunity.com/discussions/forum/0/1744483505475893224/ [External Link]
