I think it makes sense that these would be looser than those for the Deck. It doesn't have the text size or resolution constraints. Basically the only thing that matters is: is there a native version, and if not, does it run in Proton.
Tbh I think it might even make sense to reduce the visibility of this verification, because in my experience, the number of games that don't run in Proton now is vanishingly small. Big standouts are those requiring kernel-level anti-cheat, but that is not going to change. It kind of sends the wrong message to even need the verification, as opposed to supporting the assumption that most of the time "it just works".
I know a few people who until very recently still believed that you could only run Linux native games on a Steam Deck. I guess maybe these verifications are aimed to combat that.

When I was younger, I used to think that "the UK is halfway between the US and Europe".
It has never felt more true than recently.

I'm sure all the "now we are gonna manufacture iPhones in the US!" conservatives will raise their displeasure with this any day now.

So much winning!
No one wins a trade war. We all get to lose because of one loser (well, plus 70 million other losers).

But of course. Democratic countries doing very well with policies far more socialist than would be politically expedient for the US? Can't have that.

No. Exclusives suck for everyone in the long run. In this case, it would also be pretty heavily set against the Linux / FOSS ethos, too.

This isn't new.

I still regularly use my original Steam Controller -- for the trackpads. It allows me to do M+KB strategy gaming from the couch.
This lacks the killer feature, IMHO, given that I can use any of a wide variety of regular Bluetooth controllers for stuff with controller support.

"Better supported" is an understatement. AMD on Linux requires no handling of drivers whatsoever, so far as the user is concerned.

That DLC is actually $1.49 during the sale, at least in the US.
