“Oh you built this house with one of our hammers, so it’s ours actually.”
The problem with companies like for example Adobe over let's say DeWalt is that they actually have a pretty strong grip on it's target market.
If there was only one company that made tools to build houses i'm sure eventually they'd try to pull the same crap if they could get away with it.
You can totally see the same kind of walled garden thinking in things like battery platforms for powertools. Most people buy into a brand and never go elsewhere.
Cyberpunk (and Witcher 3) already runs, and honestly way better then I expected, on my steam deck. They even have a specific graphics setting to accommodate for it's obviously limited hardware, so CDPR are also aware people play their games on the steam deck as evidenced by this graphics setting.
Steamdeck is linux. Obviously this proton translation layer that is being leveraged is very capable.
For all intents and purposeses, CDPR is already where they need to be for half-decent Linux support and honestly I don't understand why they didn't already draw that last sprint that would be required to fully support this.
