It would be a real shame if someone were to organize a group of Linux players for the launch, to leave negative reviews about how they can't play the game on their Steam Deck...

The monkey's paw curls and… BF6 is now playable on Steam Deck, but Linux is still forbidden.

How would that work? Steam deck is Linux.

It has already happened. I don’t remember which game but basically they detect the Steam Deck and make an exception only specifically for that.

That's fine by me. If they open Pandora's box a little bit somebody will pry it open the rest of the way.
