Ted has been thinking about PC games and bothering anyone who would listen with his thoughts on them ever since he booted up his sister's copy of Neverwinter Nights on the family computer. He is obsessed with all things CRPG and CRPG-adjacent, but has also covered esports, modding, and rare game collecting.
Valve has still neither confirmed nor denied the veracity of the numerous alleged Deadlock leaks we've seen over the past week. Having been through the, I'm not clearing them as 100% legit until the big V weighs in, but the sheer quality and quantity of videos and details from multiple sources all corroborating each other makes it hard to believe Deadlock is some kind of elaborate hoax.
Aside from concurrents, update history, and the Project 8 code name, we can see that there are currently both Windows and Linux builds of Deadlock—that makes sense with Valve's Linux-based SteamOS, though I also wouldn't have been surprised if the dev had just gone all in on Proton compatibility instead.
Knowing Valve's previous communication strategy, the company will likely not comment on any of this until it's good and ready for a full Deadlock reveal, and that's probably the right move. Honestly, the funniest possible outcomes for any of this would be for Valve to just never release Deadlock, or for it to have been a hoax all along despite the evidence suggesting otherwise. Neither of those seem likely given the sheer extent of what we've seen, though.

When he's not playing or writing about games, you can find Ted lifting weights on his back porch.
