    For those in the dark, Valve will be utilizing the Proton compatibility layer to run Windows games on its upcoming Linux-powered handheld gaming PC the Steam Deck. The lack of official support for Linux by anti-cheat services would mean a large chunk of multiplayer games being walled off from the platform. But with the latest development, Easy Anti-Cheat powered games should be playable on the handheld without issue.

    But it appears Valve knew the anti-cheat SDKs were going to be a problem, and was working on a solution well before now. GamesRadar reported a month ago that Valve was focused on ensuring the Steam Deck would run every single game in the Steam library, so much so that Valve considered any game not compatible to be a bug. Steam developer Lawrence Yang specifically said "Something that we said earlier on is that we really want [08:00] schestowitz the entire library to work... If it doesn't work we see that as a bug and we want to fix it."
