If this means I can play my Steam games on my phone… Yay! 🎉
More like the other way round.
You can stream steam games to your phone with steam link thought.
Yeah. Stream your android games from your phone to your steam deck so you can stream them to your phone!
I mean you could say the Steam Deck is “just KDE on Arch”.
The difference is how they implement it and what it’s used for. This could be huge for “apps” on the Steam Deck, for example. Or it could be a quirky experiment or feature nobody uses. Time will tell.
Fair, but a valve implementation could mean a good implementation in game mode. That would be nice and be easier for people not willing to touch desktop mode.
I would like if someone managed Valve right and made HL3.
Valve makes infinitely more money off of store fees selling other people’s games. Why would they want to make a fraction developing a single game when they can go after Android’s 30% cut?
…So they have no issue burning a few million on HL3 knowing its a sunk cost to maybe keep some of the talent that has been leaving the company?
SteamDeck, emulate everything.*
- Proton technically isn’t emulation, but it’s pretty crazy that the device basically doesn’t have anything natively built for it, everything is translated emulated. It took that much effort to break Microsoft’s PC gaming monopoly.
Regardless of what the website says, waydroid isn’t an emulator by any meaningful definition.
It’s a container that runs on top of your regular linux kernel (with some very cool desktop integration features), java/kotlin applications run as natively as they’d run on your phone.
translation is kind of native though. It is almost like porting a winfows app to linux in real time, on the fly. It is pretty cool
Yeah it’s pretty cool. Sometimes the translation can even beat native performance.
