Since I come across this issue constantly...

#GameDev if you want your game on #SteamDeck, and you don't have a #Linux version - don't in any way tag it for Linux / SteamOS. All that does is result in a broken empty download.

Do nothing. Valve check themselves using Proton via Deck Verified.

#linux #gamedev #SteamDeck

I saw this on GoG a while ago as well. Game marked with Win, Mac and Linux but after pruchasing download option was only Windows. I just returned the game and found out later that linux build was being submitted with delay.
I always assumed that tagging is automatic based on file uploads by devs and not manually by ticking boxes 😕

, there are no punishment for broken empty Linux depots.
There probably should be.
I've seen only two games (which are really small casual games) with this problem to date though...

Yeah, that’s pretty manipulative. Windows games with a Proton compatibility layer *are definitely not* Linux games. Saying it’s Deck Verified should be the extent of their broadcasting :ac_bob2:
