Will skate. be available for Mac OS, Steam OS, Proton/Linux systems (handle held PCs like the Steam Deck) for Early Access?

• We want to bring skate. to as many platforms as possible and will continue to listen to feedback and look at the feasibility of adding new platforms in the future, but for Early Access launch, Mac OS, Steam OS, Proton/Linux will not be supported.

Might still run fine, though

    It's a micro-transactions store with a game built around it. Knowing EA they'll probably throw their rootkit anti-cheat in to assure investors that "hackers" won't get anything for free.

    The first part looks like two separate sentences 😁

    Yeah, at this point I assume they just want to choose awful names to garner attention, but damn, this just makes me think someone typoed.

    Oh nooo, not the crappy revival that desperately wants to be the next fortnite! I'll surely miss not being able to play this.

    Its a modern EA game so nothing of value is lost by not playing garbage.

    No worries, they'll eventually launch it and it'll run at a piss-poor 1 decade per frame on even the highest end hardware for the gameplay, but the microtransaction storefront will run at 3000000000000000FPS with zero bugs whatsoever.

    Not like this game was worth a damn anyway. Better off emulating 2 or 3.

    THPS works just great though.

    Was it supposed to be? I just assume by default a lot of games don't officially support Linux.

    As underpowered as the Steam Deck is, it's a miracle to me that it can even run modern AAA titles at all.

    Wake me up when they release a 1440p OLED model that can handle Ray Tracing @ 60 FPS minimum.

    You seem like the kinda guy who could see someone invent a machine that cures cancer, but you'd still complain because it can't suck your dick

    I feel like I am the opposite. The steam deck changed my entire opinion of what I need to enjoy a gaming session. Previously I bought high end hardware, and high refresh rate screens, but after playing through several games on my steam deck, I am realizing I spent way too much money on my gaming computers over the years.

    Interesting, I won't be supporting EA on my steam deck either.

    Skate-period? Skate-dot? Skate-point?

    What a stupid name for a game.

    Has anyone tried running it via Proton? I see they've said it "isn't supported" but that's not how Proton works. I haven't gotten into the beta so I can't test myself.

    I read elsewhere that it'll have anti-cheat. If they don't support Linux, anti-cheat will make it rather unlikely to work, since it will detect the mild differences between Proton and Windows as an attempt to cheat.

    Why a game from EA needs early access? I see it more suited for small studios that cannot afford so much QA and need a revenue stream to continue the development.

    Will probably work just fine though, I mean as much as the game itself works

    Where can I find one of these "handle held" PC's?
