Why does it matter if they have a better translation now? The steamdeck 2 is a long way away. By the time steamdeck 2 releases I imagine their translation layer will be better than apples is today but probably not better than apples will be when steamdeck 2 releases.
If it’s not, then it’ll never work, which is why Apple’s endeavor is doomed too. There’s such a massive back catalogue of games that we can’t, won’t, and shouldn’t abandon that unless you’ve got x64 translation as good as Proton is for Windows translation, or better, switching to ARM will never work for the latest greatest games. I think that switch to ARM is nearly inevitable, but that translation needs to be excellent first.
