Over the last week or so, I went to Gamescom to represent SteamDeckHQ, and it was a blast. I got to see so many awesome games and talk to many developers and publishers, and the majority of them were either very receptive, optimistic, or have already started implementing Steam Deck support!

In our article, we go over some examples, as well as me being known as "The Steam Deck Guy." Though one I am happy to share is that the upcoming Epic Mickey Rebrushed will have full Steam Deck support at launch, and playing it on the Deck at Gamescom was phenomenal.

There's much more we go into detail with in the article, but in the end, it's looking very optimistic for Steam Deck support for future games.

As a Linux user, I love the steam deck. I'll probably never own one, but what it did for Linux gaming was amazing

The way it brought to light how viable Linux gaming is, and make it more widely adopted, has been awesome.

Bought one as a present from my own birthday. Finally I don't use it much, but as you said It showed me that Linux gaming was here. I switched all my computers to Linux and keep gaming.

As a fellow Linux guy, it's just great. I have had to do no hacking and bare-bones minimal tweaking to get things how I want. 90% of games work out of the box, even mouse-heavy games like RimWorld. I just love it. I sit at a desk all day for work. I don't want to do that after. The steam deck gives me almost my entire steam library and I can lounge wherever I feel like with it. I <3 you Steamdeck.
