Steam Deck support
Hey guys. I play D2 on and off with friends. Recently though I've been playing a lot more on my steam deck than on my PC. I know there was an official message that Bungie isn't interested in adding support for the steam deck, but they don't seem to have any method to send in feature requests or otherwise show support / request that we have an official Steam Deck version. Battleye is confirmed to have Linux Support, and Destiny 2 DOES run great on deck (Installed windows to test). But I hate having a whole operating system on an SD card for this game only. It's a pain to switch out, reboot, deal with windows updates, etc. when pretty much everything else I play runs flawlessly in native SteamOS.
Anyone else interested in seeing this? How can we show support for this? It'll be a major influence on me to continue playing if support for the deck gets added. What would Bungie want to see from steam or the community that would shift their stance on this?
Also, sorry if this has been posted before (I'm almost sure it has) but I saw no way to search forum posts.

2 RepliesA couple things to remember, Battleye is not the only anticheat Bungie uses. Even if it was, there is than just anticheat that is needed to support a new platform. What Bungie would want to see is a HUGE increase in Linux gaming overall. Right now, devs and publishers dont want to put forth resources into a small market share. Linux as a whole only represents less than 3 percent of all PC OS installed. Once you narrow that down to specifics like gamers and then steamdeck, you can see it is a hard business decision to put resources into supporting it as a platform.
