1 week from release, Steam Deck hits well over 640 Playable games

I do wonder if they really are going to go through everything. There is a ton of just complete junk/trash on Steam that even if it did "work" it's still pure rubbish that no one except for gag-gifts would buy.

That "Race On Ice" is basically Unreal's Vehicle Template with a tiny bit of UI, some quickly hacked-together levels, and that's it...

If there were more than one week of work needed to make it, I'd be very much surprised...

Just open up a Patreon for donations so you can afford more under garments!

On a separate note... so when I say MicroSD card, is it now just going to be 'cartridges for the Steam Deck'? :P

Not sure if the marketing there is going to be awesome, or just confuse people. I need to track down some nice quality high speed MicroSD cards anyhow. Some for Deck, and some for the SCSI2SD v6 that I'm going to be ordering for my Video Flyer... not that I don't already have a freaking huge collection of microSD cards due to all the raspberry pi, MiSTer, FujiNets, etc that I have... it's kind of like a sickness, I should figure out a labeling system...

I think the article from yesterday about that testing and retesting policy seemed to indicate some form of developer submission into a "que". I'm sure that's not the only way something gets tested, but if imagine that might explain it. Developers are submitting it. Makes sense if your putting up junk to grab a few bucks, why not grab a few bucks on another platform too right?

I mean in one sense, they got more exposure for thier game by doing it then they would normally. How else would they end up on, for example, this site?

No offence to this site here, it just happens to be a very good example/use case.

I see War Thunder on the list - is the current Linux client actually working well, by now or did they test the proton version with anti cheat?

Quoting: rustybroomhandleAnd the selection still seems super random. But then I keep seeing people excited to play things on Deck that I have never even heard of. So maybe not so random.

I suppose that, even though Valve keep hyping how it'll run AAA games, they have to know that not everyone is going to buy this in order to play such games, so it makes good sense to be showing off as wide a range of games as possible before release.

¿Qué? Do you mean a "queue"?

The native version work pretty well for me now and even before when I had RX 470 and was using the Vulkan beta renderer.
At the very beginning the native version had only OpenGL which was way worse than Windows DX11. Then a few years ago Vulkan beta was implemented which doubled the fps but had some bugs (black screen) in some cases and since recently (already a year maybe ?) Vulkan became the default renderer, granted the GPU supports it.

The game still has some occasional bugs and glitches, but this is not Linux related as my friend on Windows is also enjoying these same "features".
