What parameters are they using to block non-SD devices?

The easiest one would be to check for the SteamDeck=1 variable.

So if I added that as a launch argument it would work? Is it that simple?

It works on some games and not others.

I heard it works on Marvel Rivals but It didn't work when I tried it on Ironsight, it just kicked me out.

Rivals works on normal Linux desktops without any hacks

It's a real parameter.
