Marathon has been free and open source for 20 years. Is there any reason to use this over Aleph One?

Easy setup on Steam Deck?

Plus just exposure and availability. I had Aleph One set up, 1-2 computers ago. But bringing over non-Steam games every time I have to set up Windows again is a pain in the ass.

My Steam library migrates en masse between machines. I wish everything was in it. Just makes things easier.

You have to address this question to Aleph One team themselves who set up everything up on Steam; my guess, is that they are looking for reachability of their works and, thus, keep the IP alive in the public conscious (the original IP concept, at least)

The comment about steam deck makes sense, I also see it’s got achievements. Just curious who would use it, as it’s been free for a long time. One of the first open sourced games I remember. Great games, aside from some torturous level design, thanks for posting. Added it to my library anyways.
