Someone on HN earlier today mentioned they would fix the Arch issues

Proton is the gateway drug to us getting more Linux native games. In due time!

Probably for the same reason Nintendo shuttered the stores for 3DS and Wii U over the last year. They are attempting to consolidate infrastructure, support, user base, and sales.

It is likely due to age and popularity. At this point PCSX2 is the only widely popular emulator you’ve listed, but is older, in the same way Dolphin is old and less of a concern of harming their limelight. That isn’t to say those other emulators aren’t making waves lately, but there is a window between age and popularity that makes this software a prime target. Especially emulators for current gen, which has been historically very rare, and when it did exist were no where near as good as CEMU, Yuzu, and Ryujinx were.

In my experience they are held accountable.

I agree w/ the sentiment but I haven’t heard of a dev that isn’t lit on fire from every direction at most of these companies.

It’s usually non-devs who require the encouragement. Although perhaps you meant developer more generally?

I have these exact same issues, never heard of someone else experiencing them.

I’d say the Bluetooth issues, and the inability for me to turn the steam deck on when docked at a distance (without extras) are my biggest pet peeves right now. Otherwise I’m a happy camper.

The Home + A is annoying, but I usually get it after a few attempts.
