[quote]So with all the changes from the last several months is there still any reason why people playing from Linux (eg Steam Deck) aren't allowed??[/quote] Yes. The reason is that Bungie haven’t changed their stance on Linux. Their plan to unvault and restore content has never had any association with changing their position regarding D2 on Linux. Just because they’re doing one thing doesn’t mean they should also do another, completely different, entirely separate and unrelated thing. Their statement below still applies. Destiny 2 is not supported for play on the Steam Deck or on any system utilizing Steam Play's Proton unless Windows is installed and running.  Players who attempt to launch Destiny 2 on the Steam Deck through SteamOS or Proton will be unable to enter the game and will be returned to their game library after a short time.   Players who are not accessing Destiny 2 through Windows and attempt to bypass the SteamOS/Proton incompatibility will be met with a game ban. https://help.bungie.net/hc/en-us/articles/360049024592-Destiny-2-Steam-Guide
