Quoting: PenglingWas I the only one who misread "Deck Builder Bundle" as a bundle that one can build for the Steam Deck, as opposed to a bundle relating to the deck-builder genre?

Nope i misread it as well...... I have zero interest in the Steam Deck but that misread made peaked my interest enough to click on the story to find out more..... was disappointed to say the least.....

Armello removes advertising Linux and macOS support due to their party system

Quoting: StoneColdSpiderThis is going to happen more and more as Proton gets better and better..... Greedy/lazy publishers will use Proton to lower costs as they dont need to make a dedicated Linux port and still get a slice of the Linux user pie.....

Im not saying this is what happened here as it seems they got blindsided by a service provider... but between this and ARK: Survival Evolved you can see where the future is heading.....

what difference it makes if the games run fine? hell, even mods might have an better cross platform compatibility, how is that any different from using multiplatform apis like openGL on windows instead of directx?
i know, its not the same thing, but if steamdeck increasse our marketshare, it wont make a difference our support will be first class no matter if native or proton.
hell proton already gave us better perfomance than native in a few titles.

Yeah Proton is great at the moment..... but what if there are managment changes at Valve or Valve gets sold and they decide to scrap proton all together in the future???

"oh that wont ever happen" well im old enough to remember when Electronic Arts and Activision were seen as great companies on the side of the consumer releasing innovative unique games....... Now they are seen as the scum of the gaming industry....

Point being is that there is no guarantee that Proton will be around in the future..... which is why native support is important.....

And as for the Steam Deck increasing Linux marketshare by any significant margin well that depends on how many people install Windows on it..... I would actually like to see the number of Decks that ended up getting Windows installed on them in a year or so...... i doubt we will ever see those number but that would be very interesting data to look at......

Valve gives the Discovery Queue a makeover to help you find your next game

Quoting: Pengling
Quoting: StoneColdSpidertheres not point in using the Discovery Queue except to get the sale card during the sales as it does a terrible job at showing me games i might actually be interested in......
Wait, what's a sale card? I'm still fairly new to using Steam (been using it for probably about eight months - I was last a PC gamer when you could go and buy big-box releases at Toys 'R' Us), and I've never heard of this before.

During the Summer and Winter sales Steam has limited time cards you can collect and when you collect the set you can craft them into a badge...... there are usually 10 cards in a set........ You can get these cards several ways..... You get 1 card for every 10 Freedom Eagles (depending on where you live your currency rate may be different, for me its around 14 Dollarydoos) you spend in the steam store during the sale, buy them on the steam community market and the other is doing the Discovery Queue everday during the sale.... (You use to get 3 cards per day via the Discovery Queue but in recent sales its down to 1 card per day).....

Hope that helps, even tho i do suck at explaining things..... which is why i got a job at a helpdesk
