      Honestly, I don’t see the point of adding Minecraft to Steam.

      Bedrock on Linux. Java edition doesn’t have raytracing.

      Edit: also cloudsave.

          If releasing on Steam and let Proton do the work of running on linux is much more impossible than to ask them to write the program again but this time for linux, i’m not sure what to say.

              Huh? What’s so insensible about that? If Minecraft Dungeon 1 and 2 can be release on Steam, i’m not sure what so insensible to ask for a bedrock edition to be release on Steam as well. Certainly not as insensible as to ask them to add a team just to make sure the native linux version run well.

                  You know minecraft is their cashcow not because of the sales but because of the mtx right? Like, putting it on steam will open up an even bigger userbase. Literally every other storefront except windows store(i’m assuming) take the cut and they’re happy to sell it on there, the excuse of “keeping their revenue” just doesn’t really fly.

                  Like, i don’t really care about where they put it as long as there’s a linux version of bedrock, but then from experience native linux version tend to be sidelined often, so putting it on Steam is the quickest shortcut every dev can take to port their game to linux. Not sure why you’re so dead set against this idea but hey it seems like you’re the expert of the subject, maybe that give you the right to be condescending about it.

      Idk, I visited my niece and nephew who love Minecraft. I came with my Steam Deck, and the recommended way to run Minecraft was through some 3rd party launcher that wasn’t officially Minecraft. It worked fine, but I kinda would have preferred an “official” pathway to running it there.
