Proton is not nothing :(
And DXVK. And VKD3D. And contributions to upstream Wine. And Gamescope. And the best handheld console thus far. And going against common industry practices by supporting the right to repair said console.
Valve over here revolutionizing Linux gaming and they get told they “did nothing”.
I'm 99% sure this is totally in regards to software/Steam. Valve's HW/FW departments are 🔥
Even still, compare all of the features steam has and the tools they provide to developers for the platform vs. their competition.
Shopping cart. Didnt know that was a necessity but...
Also features like in-home streaming/Remote Play and local file transfers make using my Steam Deck even better, for example
Valve keeps improving regardless of the competition, but I think the idea was that Valve could do nothing for the next decade and probably still have the best storefront.
They actively made the storefront worse with the release of the Steam Deck. At least there is still the backdoor through search to get to a reasonable interface for filtering/searching.
