PayPalARMORED CORE VI FIRES OF RUBICON is a seriously exciting upcoming release from the ELDEN RING developer FromSoftware. Seems it will run well enough on Steam Deck at release!
Valve gave it a Steam Deck Playable rating with Proton 8.0-3 on August 12th, with the rating just now going live. It's Playable and not Verified due to it having some in-game text that might be too small. Hopefully this is something that FromSoftware will address, because it's an annoying reoccurring issue even on desktop some games text is just tiny.
As a huge fan of games and media with big mechs, ARMORED CORE VI FIRES OF RUBICON is something I'm going to be taking a look at for sure. So I'll be letting you know if it runs properly on desktop Linux and Steam Deck just after release.
You can pre-order on Humble Store and Steam.
ARMORED CORE VI releases August 24th at 10PM UTC for the Steam release.
They also recently did an official showcase you can view below:

Are they doing it to stand out of lists?
Are they doing it to stand out of lists?Yep, that's why exactly companies do this with both game titles and company-names. As an example, I learned about this back when Sega Corporation started doing it (you'll often see journalists today writing it as "SEGA", not as "Sega"), which stood out because the original Sega Enterprises Ltd. did not do so.

Although tbh I would just use the ProtonDB extensions and browse games using my browser to check their ProtonDB ratings because I still trust ProtonDB better.
For SEGA it's at least somewhat justifyable as that is an abbreviation for "Service Games". Also their logo has always been written in capitals.Are they doing it to stand out of lists?Yep, that's why exactly companies do this with both game titles and company-names.

(Though, really, shouldn't it be intercapped as "SeGa", since it's a contraction?

WHAT IS IT WITH THESE CAPS LOCK GAME TITLES?
Are they doing it to stand out of lists?
No. It's a Japanese thing.
The Japanese language has two different phonetic character sets that can acceptably be switched between for solely aesthetic purposes, if one wishes - and this is just treating English caps/lower-case in the same way. From the perspective of Japanese people, sometimes all upper case or all lower case just gives more of the vibe they're going for, so they name things accordingly. Upper-case letters are the aesthetic Katakana to lower-case's Hiragana.
[...] (Though, really, shouldn't it be intercapped as "SeGa", since it's a contraction?Well, yeah... but since SEGA looks a lot less shitty than SeGa, I'd always go with that just from a design point of view. If you make your own font for your logo, you better make sure it looks nice.
