I don’t mind when another company says “Hey, we can do ‘this’ better…and here’s how.”
When they say instead “Hey, we can do the *same* thing and btw we’re better because the other guy sucks because reasons.” …then my first thought is no and no…

@gamingonlinux it's just as "locked" to the valve eco system as Windows is to the Microsoft store. There are lots of ways to play games from other stores on the Steam Deck.

@gamingonlinux .. the bigger question is: will #Playtron contribute back to the #Linux / #FOSS community that it is built on? Likely given who they’ve hired, but we don’t know. Valve is making big money, but no question that they contribute back (and obviously Playtron won’t build their own Proton from scratch).

As an update to this: One of the videos Playtron supplied to The Verge, showcasing it on mobile, wasn't even their own and was taken uncredited from another person on YouTube, who hit them with a copyright claim and had it taken down. Not a good look.
