Valve limits Steam store pages to 2 trailers before screenshots
I don't know about you, but I used to get a little annoyed by endless amounts of trailers on Steam pages that didn't really show much. Valve have been paying attention again to what players want to see.Liam Dawe (GamingOnLinux)
I really enjoyed hearing Liam from @gamingonlinux on the latest Linux Downtime #podcast.
As always, great insights on the state of gaming & #SteamDeck from someone who's been covering it for 14 years.
I'd love to hear someone devote an entire podcast episode to one of his concerns: Does #Valve have TOO much of a stake in Linux gaming? What happens if they stop investing effort into it?

More goodies coming to the Steam Deck and Steam Desktop Beta, as Valve sure do like to work quickly to solve bugs and add features.Liam Dawe (GamingOnLinux)
I feel like the steamdeck broke the ice to allow more linux-based consoles, without just slapping windows on them. All the work #Valve and wine contrubutors put into #Proton just paved the way.
And now, we can have coherent, polished, and more put together custom consoles (with working games for them) other than the xbox and playstation.

Neon Prime from Valve is reportedly a third-person shooter close to release
Neon Prime isn't here yet, and there's nothing actually confirmed about it, but data miner and leaker Tyler McVicker gave a fresh overview on what to expect.Liam Dawe (GamingOnLinux)
This might sound like a weird opinion, but now that #Valve and the wider games industry is putting so much effort into #Proton and #Linux support, it's actually a good thing to have some games that don't run very smoothly at launch.
While it's annoying for #LinuxGamers, it's going to help developers of Proton and of big game engines to clean up messy edge cases and improve performance and compatibility for everyone.
