Steam Deck plays thousands of PC games. That’s the whole point of the Steam Deck. I can take it with me anywhere in a more portable format (than my laptop) and play my Steam library. The Steam Deck plays the full version of the game that you can play on PC, not simply a “mobile” version of the game. That’s the whole beauty of Steam Deck.

I don't have a Steam Deck. How user-friendly is it for games and things that are very mouse-intensive? Do you tap on the screen? A joystick?

I don't mind if it works for steam deck, but also don't want a possible downgrade of the game just so it can run on steam deck.

Unless they specifically don't want it to run on Linux by bundling it with malware DRM or anti-cheat, it should work.
And iirc, CSL1 was one of the showcase titles for the Steam Controller, why would they stop supporting SteamInput now?

I do hope there will be a good Linux port and not just Proton (C:S1 has a native Linux port)

Thus far it plays pretty well for mouse intensive games. It has two trackpads and you can customize the buttons and track pads. I really enjoy playing such games on the Steam Deck because of its track pads and customizations.

You can also tap on the screen if you want. However I tend to use the trackpads, buttons and joysticks for my mouse intensive games and not any touching of the screens.

Unity has great platform support. I'm sure CS2 will be compatible. I'm sure the devs will port all of the platform versions themselves through Unity. In fact, they were hiring platform programmers not too long ago.

deck support would be nice but i have a feeling this games going to be a resource hog.

I keep thinking this too. But 8-core system have been around since the first gen Ryzen 2017, so we have 6-years of 8-core systems on the market. New consoles have them as well. There are even 16-core versions, and Intel recently launched 20-core systems.

Hopefully windows can properly allocate all of the resources to make it happen. I've only seen one game using more than 8-thread CPUs, and that is Ashes of the Singularity. It does 12-thread of power at max.

CS1 kind of works on Steam deck. The two track pads can kind of work as a mouse analogue. It's definitely not ideal but it can work - the trouble is optimizing it, as I found that it fails if I have a lot of the DLC enabled.

Same, I can't event get CS1 to work on my Steam Deck

Not real. It is game with a lot of buttons, a lot of keys using, so it isn’t for small screens without keys.

From this comment any Deck user can see that you never held SteamDeck. You can map like 40 buttons plus you have track pads working as mouse and you can map one of them to another 4 buttons, plus joysticks and their clicks going up to 46 buttons. I sold my gaming laptop because I do not have that much time to game and I love SC1 and it would be great to play CS2 on deck too.

The game will likely be compatible and playable with the Deck.

Cities Skylines and Transport Fever 2 are both easily playable in the Deck.

The main issue: mods.

Steam Deck can take a few, but storage space and especially RAM are limited, so you cannot go overboard with subscriptions there.

Due to Steam's insistence of pushing the whole subscribed Workshop library in all devices the game is installed, either you will be playing mostly without mods, or you will be juggling subscribe lists between different devices.

Not a problem, of course, if you intend to play solely in the Steam Deck, and especially without Workshop mods.
