Valve can't really stop it. The Deck's just linux under the hood. That's a big part of why I bought it.

But the way people have to bend over backwards to get Game Pass running on it kinda sucks. I'm a sub, and when I open the Deck I'm already dreading how much of a headache it'll be.

Wait, it actually works? I thought the UWP base was a non-starter.

I'd maybe consider subbing every so often if it supported Linux. I'd more seriously consider it if it supported Steam Deck with a decent UI. But I'm not going to bend over backwards for a service I'm paying monthly for, that's just silly.

The only way to get it on the Deck is with cloud gaming or by installing Windows.

Ew, no thanks. If M$ wants my business, they can make a client for Linux, or at least make it compatible with WINE/Proton.

Streaming "works". As well as streaming does, which is mediocre.

You can't locally run gamepass games unless you install windows on the deck.

As @conciselyverbose@kbin.social said, streaming works.

Unlike him, however, I've had a fair bit of luck streaming (on my computer. The Deck is my Christmas present from my wife). Starfield of all games. Good framerate, usually low controller-latency. That streaming thing is finally starting to improve. Finally.
