I understand completely, slowmotion, and to repeat I don't mean to sound bemeaning or demanding at all. However, I think it'd be a mistake to wait until after the SteamDeck has been released to enable EAC support. I guess I sound a little bit impatient (SteamDeck is releasing in a month anyways), but that's only because I used to love this game and can't wait to play it again.

Please note, as I have already said in this thread...we are enabling for Steamdeck, that is not saying the game is going to be available for linux or proton on the PC - we do not have this information at this stage.
But we will not be launching DbD on the Steamdeck at the launch of the Steamdeck - it will be some time after.
Hi Mandy,
First of all, thanks for taking time to respond to this thread *again*. I really do appreciate that. <3
There seems to be some confusion here. The SteamDeck is a handheld PC, which will be running linux and using proton as a compatibility layer to run windows games on Linux. So saying you won't support Linux/Proton on PC doesn't really make sense from an objective technical standpoint.
I would love for you to take the recent news to the Devs/Product Owners/whoever is responsible, if they aren't aware of it yet and get some new feedback on this topic. I work in Software Development myself and I really don't mean to sound bemeaning, but judging from the article by Valve/EAC this could be implemented by an intern within literal minutes, without ANY changes in the codebase itself. Initial support could be declared experimental and would give you a headstart for the upcoming official launch on the SteamDeck.
Thanks for your hard work and patience. I know Linux users are really a small minority and won't (yet) make a huge difference in your statistics. But we are passionate and I for one would love finally play one of my favorite all-time games on my platform of choice, which happens to be Linux. Have a nice Monday!

Fantastic news, I hope this will get implemented soon!

I have been craving to play some DBD (and buy skins/new DLCs!), since I made the switch to Linux. I would love for (unofficial at least) linux support to be implemented by the devs.
