This may not be as straightforward as planned. There are plenty of games that have virtual currencies you can gain in game. So short of giving you money they would still need some “wallet”. And that virtual wallet wouldn’t be able to match 1:1 the real wallet value

Fucking finally. Good shit Australia. Doing better than most. Watch Elmo throw a hissie fit. Pathetic

Once again mullvad proving they are the only good VPN

It doesn’t matter what caused the plane to crash. The deaths are the fault if the airport and its concrete ILS antennas

Have you flipped a coin a thousand times. You would be shocked how often in a row you can get head.

Statistics is fascinating and the universe seems to have a propensity for making very unlikely things happen back to back. Just think back to the guy that won the lottery, and when going back to the same location to film how he did it winning it a second time. In a row…

So I would say that the universe is just making sure that 2024 which started with the first ever A350 hull loss ends with a bang (literally)

Damn that’s crazy, it’s almost as if they are actually committing a genoside

You are assuming that all non steam deck handhelds are going to be better than the steamdeck performance wise. While this may be the case with the ROG Ally I don’t think it holds true with all handhelds so there is possibility for a hand-held with less performance than the steamdeck to be verified

Not gonna lie. That is hella hype. Although it does make it harder to target hardware as a game dev. It does however make the whole ecosystem way better.

Hope they introduce some minimum hardware requirements that a hand-held has to have for it to be steamos compatible. That way devs can target that hardware and it will run on any steamos verified device

Well that’s one good thing to come from the election. Best case scenario America just fucks itself over (and not the rest of the world) while giving all of the EU a common enemy to help further strengthen the bonds.

The official valve price is so good. I bought a Gray import and it was worth it a year or so ago when I bought it. Been absolutely great.

Well if the install size is anything to go by it drops from 120Gb to 30

Nah. This is asset streaming. E.g model data. Not video

The next flight aim is gonna lean even heavier into streaming. So not just landscape but also plane models will be streamed. So this is gonna get worse not better

Fucking finally. Worst year to miss Pax. I’m just glad they finally released it out here. Will absolutely buy myself an oled to replace my lcd

But unlike valve the console R&D is limited to the consoles themselves. Valve is working to improve gaming for Linux in general and foster a more open and consumer friendly console system.

Do to stuff that is anti competitive (your words)? What the fuck? Pleas point out the “stuff” that they are doing because this article is accusing them of charging too high a cut on game revenue. Which is NOT the case. Anyone that has half a braincell can do a Google search and see that their cut is perfectly inline with Xbox, PlayStation and Nintendo. They are NOT abusing they market dominance since this same hcut has been in place for basically forever. Someone looked at the 30% and just now said “hey that sounds kinda high” when it has been the norm for decades.

Also please for the love of God do some research. This has already been battled in court and the case got dropped because of fucking course steam isn’t being anti competitive. A godamm legal company thought they could make some money if they got a ton of people to sign up to a class action and somehow manage to convince the judge with numbers. But it’s utterly bullshit and beating a gift horse around the head. Steam let’s you sell their steamkeys on your website which they make 0 cut on. And all they ask is that you sell it at the same price as on steam? I don’t think anyone realized how good of a deal that is please for the love of God look at any other game platform and if you can so much as find a clause that lets you sell their keys on any other platform I will be VERY impressed.

TLDR: Stuff is not exact enough of a reason to hate on steam

This. Please more upvotes on this comment. The fact that steam let’s you sell steam keys on third part sites with no profit incentive is crazy to me. Honestly valve feels like the only good company around being blamed for all the shit they don’t do

Absolutely this. The 30% split is not only standard (xbox, PlayStation, Nintendo) but it has also hasn’t changed in a VERY long time. Any and all increases in price of games are entirely independent of the cut. Also the cut offers competition (such as the absolutely horrendous epic store) who can offer a smaller split (which they do) to remain an attractive option for game publishers. But do they drop the price on epic??? NO. It’s the game publishers greed not the store they publish on driving up prices. And blaming steam is not just looking a gift horse into the mouth but beating it with a baseball bat.

This is exactly it. Fuck all of those news articles because they all try to make out steam as the bad guy. Steam is the best of guys based on the fact that it let’s you sell steam keys, which let me remind you THEY MAKE NO PRFIT ON on other platforms and all they ask is that you don’t sell them dirt cheap?

VALVE PAYS FOR THE BANDWIDTH THAT DOWNLOADING THE GAME USES. Honestly the fact that they are willing to absorb all the costs while making none of the profit is absolutely mind blowing.

Drift has nothing to do with what people are doing. It occurs naturally from any dust or debris that makes it into the controller. Obviously the better care you take the less likely it is but it’s not user error causing stick drift.
