    I never really saw the point in it being on Steam anyways. Maybe so it was easier to get up and running on the Steam Deck?

      It’s software and Steam exists to host software. It’s like asking, “what’s the point in Retroarch being on Google Play?” There are a few benefits, such as not needing to go to desktop mode on SD, using the Steam update system and cloud saves.

      I can see the appeal. Of course it would be easier for the average user, for Steam integration (eg: with Steam Deck), but the real killer feature would be cloud save syncing. Add in the Community features, like forums (good resource), and the potential for guides, on getting settings optimized for a game.

      It’s already super simple to get up and running on the Steam Deck so it doesn’t matter at all IMO. I’d rather get open stuff from open sources anyways.
