As far as I know, none of the Verified or Playable games here have had any work done by the developers to make them work. I have only looked at the Steam update data for 2 of them though, so don't take my word for it.

If they DO plan to write it from scratch, I'm betting that Amazon's Proton plans will get to market long before Google.

"Boomer Shooter" is such a weird term when you consider that the original boomer shooters were made by Gen-X.

When there are enough Steam Deck users, they should probably plonk in a bit of crowdsourced reporting like how ProtonDB works, with a short mini-survey.

I wonder if some devs have not perhaps explicitly asked for some games to be marked as unsupported. Counter-point to this would be Europa Universalis, because other paradox games are verified/playable.

"Oh no, we have a cheating problem on Windows, best keep those stinky Linux users out. Everyone knows they're mad haxx0rz that sit in their hoodies in the dark cheating at video games."

I'd generally prefer anything that could be used as a channel of communication to remain open. Russians are getting loads of misinformation, and loads of sites are being cut off to keep the propaganda going. So anything allowing the truth to be told is welcome.

Quoting: areamanplaysgame

Quoting: GuestDestiny 2 is dead to me. I'll wait for the official go ahead to check out Apex Legends.

Apex Legends is not really a similar game at all unless you only play Destiny PvP. There is no PvE content in Apex at all.

There's always Warframe.

Quoting: Dribbleondo

Quoting: rustybroomhandleOn the one hand, fine, they can support or not support whatever they want, but one the other hand, the antagonistic tone of that statement is just horrid.

Saying "you will be faced with a ban" is not antagonistic in of itself because, as Liam wrote, this is literally how ANY anti-cheat supported game reacts, and has done since Wine came onto the scene, and isn't new behaviour. It'd be antagonistic if Bungie had said "We will never support linux you weebs, and you'll face a ban for even trying on your cruddy operating system". That would be antagonistic. What we got was boilerplate PR speak, and nothing more.

What we're currently seeing, and probably will continue to see for the foreseeable future, is just news sites making a bigger deal out of this than they should be because the Steam Deck is the new hot thing, and being outraged at Bungie's response about not playing a game like that on the Deck is gonna get some clicks. Glad Liam didn't fall for that trap, so mad respect.

There are much better ways they could have worded all of that.
