Valve keeping up with the trend of “worst kept secrets”. You need an invite to join the alpha but since everyone who owns it can refer their friends, it spread very quickly.

I’ve been playing it the past few days and it’s honestly very fun. Still a bit rough around the edges (especially in terms of balance) since it’s in early access, but it has serious potential to be dota 2 levels of popular.

For the unaware, Deadlock is a 3rd person shooter MOBA. It feels like a mix of Dota and Overwatch/Team Fortress. Nobody is allowed to share footage or screenshots, but obviously with so many playing there’s a ton of leaks out there.

    with Linux gaming I think it’s great enough that it runs with Proton and no one is blocking it.

    You clearly missed many news from the gaming sphere.

    remember that the game is in a closed alpha state, so at no point this should be taken as “Valve not dogfooding their platform

    Yes, it is. Sony is developing their games for PlayStation first and Windows as an afterthought. I’m not saying that Windows should be an afterthought but SteamOS should be a development target from day 1.

    All we can do right now is wait and see.

    Grab your Steam Deck, install Counter-Strike 2, and look at the state of Source2 games right now.
