Will skate. be available for Mac OS, Steam OS, Proton/Linux systems (handle held PCs like the Steam Deck) for Early Access?

• We want to bring skate. to as many platforms as possible and will continue to listen to feedback and look at the feasibility of adding new platforms in the future, but for Early Access launch, Mac OS, Steam OS, Proton/Linux will not be supported.

Who's cheating in Skate? That is such a wild thought that people would cheat in the "zone out and skate around in circles" game

I read elsewhere that it'll have anti-cheat. If they don't support Linux, anti-cheat will make it rather unlikely to work, since it will detect the mild differences between Proton and Windows as an attempt to cheat.

oh, it's EA.

Well, that makes my choise to not get it a lot easier

Interesting, I won't be supporting EA on my steam deck either.

Skate-period? Skate-dot? Skate-point?

What a stupid name for a game.

Has anyone tried running it via Proton? I see they've said it "isn't supported" but that's not how Proton works. I haven't gotten into the beta so I can't test myself.

Why a game from EA needs early access? I see it more suited for small studios that cannot afford so much QA and need a revenue stream to continue the development.

Will probably work just fine though, I mean as much as the game itself works

Where can I find one of these "handle held" PC's?
