To be clear, while the article says this is “official support”, this is only drivers provided by valve.

Per valve:

We are providing these resources as is and are unfortunately unable to offer ‘Windows on Deck’ support.

      I could imagine that games with invasive anti cheats are a reason.

      As someone who played a couple, i just stopped playing them.

      I’m a little sad they did this, i hoped that the pressure on the game devs would rise so they support Linux, oh well.

      Personally, I think this is great because I can now use my game pass subscription on the steam deck, I know I could use the cloud functionality on steamos, but it is not the same.

      This limitation made be realize the vendor lock-in that game pass is, sure it provides awesome value, but forces you to have windows or buy an Xbox.
