we see a lot of value in it as a way of letting people run on Linux without the large investment on our end of releasing a native client
This mindset is one of the reasons why I am still not sure whether I am happy about the popularity of Valve Proton or not...

UK CMA blocks the Microsoft takeover of Activision
26 Apr 2023 at 3:42 pm UTC

This is actually bad news. Activision is not a good company at all. They did countless bad things to Blizzard and other companies they own. The acquisition had a potential to change it for the better (and possibly bring Blizzard games to Steam :-)).

Valve rolls out Proton 8.0 to further improve Steam Deck and Linux gaming
18 Apr 2023 at 10:46 am UTC

It looks like I have found a small regression. Some games do not detect the correct system language anymore when using Proton 8.0. Instead, they default to using English locale. But maybe this is somehow related to the Flatpak Steam I use or the new Sniper runtime.

Sadly another non-native support, but still better than nothing. I am just kind of saddened that there are almost no native ports anymore, except for smaller indie games.

Sadly, none of their games seems to be Linux native although many of them have macOS builds. But it's still great to see another developer/publisher supporting Steam Deck.
