The Deck doing what I was hoping it’d do, light a fire under devs to get on board with Linux platforms

I love the deck just for that, im so happy valve is breaking the cycle of not enough pkayers not enough games

I agree w/ the sentiment but I haven’t heard of a dev that isn’t lit on fire from every direction at most of these companies.
It’s usually non-devs who require the encouragement. Although perhaps you meant developer more generally?

Valbe should automatically stop sales of any game that dips from verified to unplayable over these shenanigans.

I don’t think they should stop sales, but they should offer refunds at the publisher’s expense if the issue isn’t resolved within X number of days.

In case of a fix for the Deck, this would roll through to the Linux desktop too, right?
TechnicallyColors@lemm.ee 10 hours ago
Yes, almost certainly.

See this going around and… that is a LOT of reaching from a random CSR trying to placate an angry user.
“We are currently working with Rockstar games to find a fix” followed by “You can buy the game you already have for cheap” just means that Valve sent an email saying “Bro, what the fuck?”. And Rockstar will likely send a response of “Do you want GTA 6 or not?” and this will never come up again.
I would like to be proven wrong (GTA:O is trash but some people like it) but … not optimistic. And we get these kind of “A random CSR said something to make me stop asking to speak to their manager!” level of “leaks” a few times a year. The vast majority go nowhere.

Oh HELL yeah. That means if we get some way to run Battleye on the Deck I can finally get Siege working both on the Deck and on my Linux partition and Windows can gtfo

Hate to break it to you, but Battleye already has proton support. Devs need to enable it. Ubisoft knows this and has done nothing.

And so does EA who hasn’t done it either and keeps adding the anti cheat to older Battlefield titles. Fuck AAA publishers.

Of course Valve is. GTAO is the most successful online game ever.

Not going to hold my breath after getting a ‘fuck you very much’ reply from their tech support.
