Boiling Steam Podcast #15 with James Ramey from Codeweavers: Steam Deck, Proton, in 2021 and Beyond

We have a new episode out, with James Ramey from Codeweavers (the key company developing WINE, which is a major component of Proton)! We have talked to James many times before, he is almost like a regular guest of our podcast at this stage – but this time was a good time to catch up with him. The Steam Deck is about to be released later in this year by Valve, and we wanted to better understand the following: - How much did Codeweavers know about the Steam Deck before its announcement? - What does the Steam Deck mean for Proton compatibility? - What’s the future of the Steam Deck? How big of a product will this be? - What does the Steam Deck mean for the console market? - How likely is it that the Steam Deck will create a whole category of Handheld SteamOS-based devices? Note that Codeweavers is looking to recruit for new developers with C experience who are interested to join the ranks of other WINE developers – they welcome remote employees as well so you could apply no matter where
