    Steam on Linux provides a fixed target set of libraries because it’s kind of hard to release native games on Linux (you have to include a crapload of libraries you expect to be installed otherwise, which Steam solves).

    Larian is essentially styling now. Even Valve doesn’t release native ports anymore and went as far as removing some in favour of Proton versions.

      That’s just not true. Deadlock’s development only happens on Windows but other new releases like the HL1 remaster have been ported to Linux (while at the same time dropping Mac support).

      If CS2 is any indication, Deadlock will launch on Linux with its 1.0 release.
