To be clear, while the article says this is "official support", this is only drivers provided by valve.

Per valve:

We are providing these resources as is and are unfortunately unable to offer 'Windows on Deck' support.

Personally, I think this is great because I can now use my game pass subscription on the steam deck, I know I could use the cloud functionality on steamos, but it is not the same.

This limitation made be realize the vendor lock-in that game pass is, sure it provides awesome value, but forces you to have windows or buy an Xbox.

Why did you subscribe to services you couldn't use?

[-] andreluis034@bookwormstory.social 10 points 4 months ago

I only bought a steam deck recently, when I subscribed for 3 years, I mostly gamed on Windows or on my Xbox.

True, still a little salty I had to cancel the subscription, I genuinely liked it. But I'm not installing Windows.

Did you actually watch the video and/or read what I said? I want to be able to play the games locally, not from the cloud.
