Aw Witcher 3, so close. You can do it buddy! Kidding, it's nice that Valve are applying some standards.

Total War: Warhammer II getting verified is amazing for a device with such a small screen, no mouse, and a total (heh) CPU hog.

Games really should support bigger font sizes anyway, even for desktop or TV use, purely from an accessibility standpoint.
Microsoft to acquire Activision Blizzard

Quoting: rustybroomhandleI do hate this.

But what did Microsoft spend this buttload of money on? Maybe 5 franchises, some of them on their last legs.
I guess we'll find out whether they have enough extra to buy some spare legs. :wink:
They need to sort out the workers issue first. I hope someone has reached out to some of them to see how they feel about all this.

Quoting: syylkWell, most Blizzard products were known to run well under WINE since dirt was invented - to the point of speculating if somebody internally was smoothing them at the edges on purpose to keep some sort of unsupported-but-working compatibility...
Wasn't speculation. In the past the WoW team did implement things here and there to smoothen running it in Wine. I don't have a source to hand but it was in public postings from their team on their official forum.
Possibly goes back to when Sam Lantinga worked there.

Quoting: GuestKotick needs to be the first one out the door after this.
They've promised to keep him around to still run things. ActiBlizz employee morale must be in the tank today.

Probably still just 1.
Collabora pulls in Jason Ekstrand to work on Linux graphics drivers

This is the sort of move that makes me want to switch to AMD, but so far all comparable AMD cards to my current setup has been more expensive. I always thought AMD was supposed to be the cheaper brand.

I'm still having silly arguments with people who believe that only when 100% of your Steam library works on Linux will Linux / Steam Deck be "ready" for the masses.
Looks like Monster Hunter Rise runs well on Linux with Proton

Capcom provided Valve with an early copy which certainly helps.

CDPR did the same with Cyberpunk 2077, but in that case the problem was that it was Cyberpunk 2077.
Looks like Portal 2 is the first Steam Deck Verified title

Quoting: einherjarPortal 3 would have been the cooler announcement.

Just saying...
This was not an announcement, just some steamdb data mining.
