Except for games with anti cheats, can you quote from your head three games the last 10-15 years that aren’t running perfectly on Linux ? Because from my ~1 50

Because from my ~1 500 titles steam library, I can think of one game that I had issues with. And even this particular game (which is Tomb Raider 2013, btw) worked perfectly fine after a little hack. And ironically the "hack" was checking a checkbox in Steam to force using the Windows version of the game instead of the official Linux port.
- avazhi 1y agoOverwatch, Guild Wars 2, Valorant. ??? Oh right. ‘Except for games with anti cheats’ - so like, at least half the market lol, and more than 90% of games by game time.
- 63stack 1y agoDo you have anything more tangible than "lol"? Looking at the most played steam charts, there is about 10% that has anticheat that does not work on linux. https://store.steampowered.com/charts/mostplayed https://store.steampowered.com/charts/mostplayed
- chithanh 1y agoFrom the top 100 most played Steam games I count 26 (including 5 of the top 10) which are unplayable on Steam Deck for one reason or another. But not all popular games are available on Steam, Fortnite or Rocket League are examples.
- 63stack 1y agoIn the top 10 I see only 3: pubg, apex, and rust (no idea about delta force) but unplayable on the steam deck and whether the anticheat filters out linux are not the same.
- efreak 1y agoThat's like complaining that your PlayStation games don't work on your Xbox.
- chithanh 1y agoYes, here are 3 PC games which don't run at all on Linux: Halo Wars 2 Crackdown 3 Gears of War 4 The reason is that these are UWP-only games which are only available through the Microsoft store. Which means they will likely never run on Linux.
