Only thing this and Steam OS is missing is native support for software like Easy Anti-Cheat. Because EAC explicitly refuses to work on wine (proton), it's impossible to run a huge number of AAA multiplayer games. I know Value probably cannot do much on it's own here though.
- calebegg 5y ago"For Deck, we're vastly improving Proton's game compatibility and support for anti-cheat solutions by working directly with the vendors." So presumably they are working on this
- terramex 5y agoThey are working with BattlEye and EAC to add anti-cheat support to Proton before launch. https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/steamdeck/faq https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/steamdeck/faq

- throwaway2048 5y agowhy would it, neither require this on windows
- no_time 5y agoWindows doesn't have it so they don't cut off most of the playerbase. Linux + online gaming on the other hand is basically nonexistant right now so they don't have to deal with legacy hardware.
- no_time 5y agolol yeah. This might be the first PC-like device with a hardware root of trust that isn't completely broken (like intel's)
- smoldesu 5y agoI'd be a little skeptical of that. Valve's commitment here is to "providing SteamOS as a platform", not "building a really appealing handheld". It seems counterintuitive, but I'd imagine Valve is lobbying for the entire Linux platform right now: especially after you hear the rhetoric on their dev page for the Deck.
- owaislone 5y agoThat's actually wonderful news. Thanks
