Apparently they are working on such a game called "Citadel".
Unrelated to that, strange that there still aren't any pictures of final docking station for the Steam Deck.

Quoting: BielFPsValve should also release a new game with deck in mind to show the device qualities, like other "consoles" usually do.

Clearly aimed at ARM based Chrome-books. Not much to see here from a "normal" GNU/Linux gaming perspective.
Valve reportedly developing a Half-Life shooter-strategy hybrid
1 December 2021 at 6:07 pm UTC
Probably not (sadly all FPS/RTS hybrids so far have been a commercial failure).
To me it sounds more like trying to bring a Dota2 (and maybe auto-chess) like formula into a FPS game with some additional aspects taken from asymmetric Left4Dead.

Valve answers the question: should developers do native Linux support or Proton?

If developers target Proton/Wine as a stable API instead of doing strange hacks that only work on specific versions of Windows, then it is better then custom (closed-source) native ports. The GNU/Linux ecosystem is too dynamic and focused on working with constantly maintained open-source software, for the typical close-source game port to work without problems longer then a few months. Sure you can try to work around that with more stable runtime environments like Steam does or package it in containers etc. but at that point you might as well run another compatibility shim like Proton.
What we really need it open-source engines for games, not closed source native ports.

Free money I guess, but very iffy source. But truth to be told Godot is already sponsored by some large gambling companies using it to make slot machines and so on...

Argg... And I just bought Project Wingman on a regular sale.
Still this looks like a good selection after some months of less interesting ones (which I paused).

Steam and GOG both have their big Halloween Sale live

Well it gets fully blocked by uBlock Origin, which certainly is a bit annoying.
So I don't think those affiliate links are going to work for most people.

Quoting: Liam DaweQuoting: Julius@Liam is there a reason the GoG links are all pointing to some ad-tracking redirect?This was answered before. GOG changed their affiliate program, this is who they use now.
