Palworld is enjoying a nice resurgence after the release of the Feybreak major update with a huge increase in players. Going from around a regular 45,000 players online to around 200,000 concurrent players. However, Valve have dropped the rating the Steam Deck Unsupported.
… The paranoid part of me wonders if blocking Steam Deck support might be part of a settlement agreement with Nintendo…
I play “unsupported” games on my deck all the time. All you have to do is click past the dialogue that says it’s unsupported when installing it and that’s the end of it.
They didnt block steam deck support, they just changed the rating which indicates how well a game plays on the deck. the author himself says that the game still runs fine.
Ratings are based on somewhat trivial things, such as whether there is a website link in the main menu
