But will it run Doom?

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.ninja/post/52363

I’ve seen Doom run on calculators, an Apple Watch, hell I think some guys at MIT got it running on an abacus. There is an old meme about, “but will it run Crysis?” Turns out the Steam deck WILL run Crysis.

But not Doom (1993). Because that’s just too much to ask.

EDIT: Before you respond to this post, please read the part where I claimed Doom was run on an abacus.

This is OBVIOUSLY humor regarding the rating system Steam uses to decide if games work on the SteamDeck.

This is not a TECHNICAL indictment in any way. Stop explaining what supported and unsupported means.

Your response while right won’t be correct.

I get the joke. But I have it in my cart now, and I'm looking forward to making it work anyways.

But still funny OP 😁
- Thank you for being the first person at sh.itjust.works that has upgraded their sense of humor routine enough to be compatible with this joke.
  
  Have a wonderful day ;)
Steam deck will run Doom
- In the bottom right hand corner of the picture I provided, it says “Unsupported,” right? I’m guessing Steam profits by misleading their customers?
  
  Unsupported has a very specific meaning, and is not synonymous with incompatible. By default Steam only encourages the use of Proton with titles that have proven their compatibility with flying colors. This is because Steam's business model is predicated on the things people buy "just working". Most other titles work flawlessly, but require you to tell steam in the settings to force-allow the use of proton with all non-linux-native titles.
  
  Supported generally means that they put in some kind of effort to make it compatible. It's up to the developer to update whether or not something gets marked as compatible.
  
  Nothing was done to Doom to make it compatible with steamdeck it just runs fine on it by default
  
  It works fine on steam deck
I am deeply offended by this technical indictment of the steam deck. Steam is my bestest buddy and you are wrong and mean. Good day sir.

/s for those with terminal brain injuries.
- I’m offended because you’re offended.
