This shows the massive positive impact that the Steam Deck had on our market. Even the folks at Electronics Arts and Bioware (Dragon Age) realized that they need to cop on and deliver decent support one way or the other. It would have seemed incredible a few years ago.

I hope they will take care of that themselves and finally deliver a "release" rather than a "port".

I consider poisitve the fact that Mac is getting eclipsed. I guess videogame developers will ignore Mac more and more, and that will leave only two PC platforms to support (GNU/L and Windows).

This shows that if we keep asking for native releases, eventually some developers will listen.

On no, another port. When will they learn to develop their games multiplatform?

Quoting: ripper81358While i am all for native ports i wonder if this will pay off in any way for Feral Interactive. I realy enjoyed many of their ports prior to the release of Steamplay/Proton but i guess that most games run even better with proton than a native port nowadays. Another problem with the Feral ports has always been compatibility in multiplayermode. In most cases multiplayer was restricted so that you could only connect to other players on linux or maybe Mac. Given the fact that almost all potential players running the games on windows rendered the port useless as soon as you want to play with others.

Feral ports run worse than Proton because a "port" is very different from "native". I am tired of ports.
Native: develop your application to run on a platform
Port: take an application developed for another platform, and try to patch it up after the fact to run on a different platform.

1) This is why we should always ask for Native releases; Proton is just a fallback, marginally better than post-development ports;
2) Keep in mind that Steam provides a "Review" feature.

Quoting: PhiladelphusSemi-related random question I couldn't quite answer from the video: is it possible to attach more than one controller to the Deck via Bluetooth simultaneously? I'm wondering if it'd be possible to hook it up to a TV and play multi-player games with friends that way. I don't have multiple controllers to check myself and don't want to pick some up only to discover it doesn't work…

Yes,I do that regularly with up to three controllers!

I would like to see exclusives for GNU/Linux. The sooner Windows is pushed to extinction, the better.

Another gift from the Steam Deck. I am sure the only reason they went with a native release is to maximize performance on the Deck.
