Valve keeping up with the trend of "worst kept secrets". You need an invite to join the alpha but since everyone who owns it can refer their friends, it spread very quickly.

I've been playing it the past few days and it's honestly very fun. Still a bit rough around the edges (especially in terms of balance) since it's in early access, but it has serious potential to be dota 2 levels of popular.

For the unaware, Deadlock is a 3rd person shooter MOBA. It feels like a mix of Dota and Overwatch/Team Fortress. Nobody is allowed to share footage or screenshots, but obviously with so many playing there's a ton of leaks out there.

They are going to add Linux support the game is in alpha.

That's not day 1. Why do I need to say it over and over again? It's not like I spelled it out already: CS2 had a Windows-only pre-release and the Linux port was only added to the formal release, resulting in the Linux port being very buggy to this day! Their own platform needs to be the top tier development target from day 1. How is that difficult to understand?

Because they are developing the game for windows first since that's where 93% of the customers are. Are you even thinking this through?

Why not develop for Windows and Steam Deck equally then?

Are you even thinking this through?

Definitively more than you.

You're pretty funny but you clearly aren't smart.
