Proton is a software and not the reason Steam Deck is able to run games.

Proton the reason for the ability to play windows games = yes

You’re contradicting yourself. The second quote is correct, and no one is debating you on that…

You can install Wine and the same result will happen.

Also, Proton depends on Wine, so of course they perform similarly. What “result” are you referring to? It’s not clear what you’re getting at.

Steam deck is lock down, so many problems would be solved if they opened source it.

What element(s) of the Deck are “locked down” to its detriment? You can install Windows on it if you’d like, rendering this whole discussion about Proton pointless.

Trusting billionaires yes what a great answer. Why not trust Amazon, Facebook and X CEOs aswell. If you think Gable is innocent then you are ignoring the many lawsuits Valve corporations committed.

No one here is advocating that you trust billionaires. All I’m seeing is a bunch of people saying that the Deck is a good product that works well for its intended use case. What’s wrong with that?

All current and past criminal cases here

From what I can see, none of the cases listed are criminal cases. May I ask which of these cases we should care about as consumers?

How do you not view breaking the EU laws of GEO lock has not a criminal conviction. It was put into law before Valve moved to EU. Valve knew about the law and broke it with 5 other publishers. It’s a criminal act as stated in court documents.

They are criminals.

it had turned off such geo-blocking within the EU in 2015

I’m curious about this claim of theirs, but fair enough, I must have missed that one. Would you mind responding to the rest of my comment?
