    I have to imagine the whitelisting to specifically steam deck is only going to get worse because publishers only know how to publish to console and windows. they’ll fingerprint the hardware and move on

      If you look at the Steam Hardware Survey itself, Steam Deck makes up less than a third. Though there will surely be a few whacko’s that do it anyway.

        Ive already seen it. I forget the game but there was a recent one that had a steam deck allow profile but blocked Linux outright.

      I would think the popularity of Steam Deck and Proton would lower incentive for developers to make Linux native ports since it’s been shown that the Windows version just works most of the time.
