How Valve turned FAILURE into SUCCESS

Valve tried to usher in an era of Linux gaming in the past, and it did not work. Not even a little. Getting devs to support a new operating system with a very very small user base was an impossible task. I’m glad that Valve tried, but they failed spectacularly the first time around.
Fast forward a few years, and Valve has figured it out. Essentially Rather than getting the devs to commit to Linux they turned to Proton. That’s it success right? Windows games running on Linux! It’s amazing that Valve was able to make that work. The Devs said, No, and Valve said “fine I’ll do it myself”.

But that’s just step one. Now Valve has to push developers to make their games run on fairly limited hardware.

Some devs have seen the light and have been targeting the steam deck probably because they saw how popular handheld gaming is with the Switch and if they can do a little bit of extra work, it might benefit their customers in a big way.
