Steam Deck: Scents and Compatibility Challenges

This chapter humorously explores the unexpected smells from the Steam Deck while discussing the complex game compatibility issues it faces, particularly due to anti-cheat software. The conversation covers the minimal investment required for developers to support the platform, highlights the impact of proprietary technology, and introduces Proton and its community-driven fork, Proton GE, for running Windows games. Examples, including Persona 4 Golden and Mass Effect, illustrate the technical challenges and performance nuances that potential users may encounter.
