Topic. Specifically Candy Box 2 is available directly at https://candybox2.github.io . You just go there and play.

We do have Browser as a platform but didn't see anything too relevant for Storefront.
Should we use Direct Download? Even though you don't really download it.

Ideas?

Sorry, from your aggressive answers looks like I am coming out as somehow aggressive myself. If that's the case, I apologize, not my intention at all (and not being a native speaker might have led to a wrong choice of words).

I think I am making things a bit more complicated than they should be.
The base question is: What does "platform" on this site means?

Sorry, since they are in different forums, I just wanted to link the two threads. This has several replies already, I thought it would be useful to point at the other thread.

Not sure I agree.

What makes sure that a game (or program) can run on <something> is the couple (hardware, OS).

What does platform here means?
Because we could split things like Mac32bit and Mac64bit.

And from what I got from your answer, linux has no reason to exist as basically all hardware that can run linux can run some version of windows (or Dos, since you mentioned it).

So you suggest games played on the Deck should be logged as Linux?

Sorry for resurrecting this old thread, I did not see it before posting https://howlongtobeat.com/forum?&thread=2673

I think here the issue is, what is a PC.

Technically, a PC is a Personal Computer, regardless of OS and hardware. If this is the definition we want to accept, then I agree, Steam Deck does not need to exist as a platform. But neither should linux or mac. So why they are there?

In everyday's language, however, when we say PC we really mean Windows-PC. In this case SteamOS should exist as a platform (and PC renamed to Windows for clarity).

So I guess the current platform taxonomy is ambiguous. What does PC mean, as a platform?

Thank you for the link, I did not see the old thread.

Hum.. I think here the issue is that we have PC as a platform, while in reality it should be Windows. We have Mac (which is just an hardware), Linux (which is just a software) and we have PC which, technically, is a superset of the previous two. While in everyday's language, it really means Windows.

Now.. if PC means Windows, then SteamOS should exist as a platform.
If PC means Personal Computer, regardless of OS, then neither Linux nor Mac should exist.

Topic: can we have Steam Deck (or at least Steam OS) as a platform?
Yes, it's more or less linux.. but not exactly. I think it deserves to be listed.

Posting to edit as well.
