    Seems like this could really be a long term hit for Valve, and well deserved considering the effort they’ve put in to make it happen.

    I generally avoid praising any company, but they deserve credit for what they’ve done for Linux gaming as a whole, and not trying to lock things down to the degree that other companies would’ve.

    • Absolutely. I preordered partially because I wanted to support them for everything they’ve done for desktop Linux gaming (I almost never preorder anything), but it ended up being a better product than I expected so I don’t have even a little buyer’s remorse.

      I’ll probably preorder the Steam Deck 2 as well.

      Valve has earned my business, and they get most of my gaming money. I started using Steam when they released their Linux client, and I really started buying a ton of games when they released Proton. I’ve been with them every step of the way, and they’ve earned every penny I’ve given them.
