Has it really been that long? Apparently so. Valve originally announced their rebranding of Steam Play with Proton back on August 21st, 2018. Seems like a good time for a quick reflection being halfway to a decade old now with the tech that gave rise to the Steam Deck.
Remember when Microsoft was considering turning Windows into a walled garden like iOS, forcing Steam to play by Microsoft’s rules?
And then Steam was like, “We’ll branch off into our own thing… With blackjack and hookers!”
And here we are?
