By launch time? As an on-and-off Linux gamer who is a huge fan of Valve's Linux work, this is worrying. How can they possibly deliver on this? If they promise this and it's not there at launch time, that could doom the Steam Deck even if it's very good.
What are they going to do, start kicking titles off Steam if they don't have Linux ports? Something like that seems like the only way to meet that guarantee. That seems insane, but maybe if Proton is in really good shape they can get away with saying something like
> Hey, you have one year to add Steam Deck support to your game. Initial testing indicates that Proton will get you 80% of the way there already, but we're here to help you finish the last 20% if you reach out any time in the next 10 months.
But idk, that seems like a huge gamble and it's the only way I can picture them making good on that promise.
