Wow. Microsoft releases games for Microsoft Windows and Microsoft Xbox? And thanks to tremendous efforts by third parties they work on other platforms? Amazing!

I doubt you or most people would consider Breath of the Wild not to be Nintendo exclusive despite it being on TWO different Nintendo platforms and playable on other platforms thanks to third parties. Microsoft plays the exclusive game too no matter how much people like to pretend that they don't control Windows and benefit from keeping it the dominate PC gaming OS.

You can't run yuzu or Cemu on PS even if you wanted too. The Sony's platform is tremendously locked. Also I mentioned Proton in my original post, you get Linux compability for the "Microsoft exclusive" game basically for free.

With Yuzu and Cemu you get Linux and Windows compatibility for the "Nintendo exclusive" game for free.

I can't run Halo Infinite or Forza Horizon 5 on PS5 either regardless if I wanted to.

You got my hopes up:/ I just looked and I don't see a single COD game showing proton/steamdeck support on steam. Maybe there's workarounds for some of the old ones, but I don't think any recent ones with working anti cheat have anything but Windows support.

The old ones work pretty okay. I played through WWII's campaign on my Steam Deck and a bit of multiplayer too. Black Ops III as well although my campaign save broke itself multiple times so I gave up. The Modern Warfare reboot and up ones seem to not work though. I think they also have more extensive anti-cheat too that might not be doable on Linux.
