<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="460">7:40</a> honestly browsing the store on steam deck is a pain in the ass and I avoid it when possible. If you see a game, click into it to check out the details, and then click back to return where you left off and continue browsing, it never continues where you left off and you have to scroll back down to get to where you were. This lack of continuity needs to be fixed. It's been years.
I always look at protondb when browsing the store to see how well that game will run quite a few work Ive only had one issue where the game was said to work well but didn’t so I refunded it and got three other games for that same price but as far as the UX it could use some work in the storefront for game mode but I mainly browse the store in desktop mode plugged into my dock so I can utilize it while it’s on monitors
@@JM-pm1ybyeah. Which is odd because the steam deck isn't the product. Steam itself and its games is the product and the steam deck is just a front facing interface to connect you to products. You would think removing any friction to buying games would be a higher priority.
Ubisoft targeting Windows only is their decision, but it just takes very little effort to let Valve know like: "Hey, we're going to publish this update in a few days, just letting you know if you need to make any changes for Proton so you're somewhat prepared."
Calling it now; EA will break the Deck compatibility promise with Dragon Age within 2 years. BioWare can posture all they want but EA will eventually make the change.
I really hate when companies force you to use their launcher to play their game you bought on Steam. This was the main reason I ultimately decided not to pick up the Mass Effect trilogy even though it was only $6, I was only interested in playing through it on the deck and the possibility for future problems trying to play it was an immediate non starter for me.
I understand Valve is a lean company and adding a bunch of employees can cause more chaos instead of speeding things along. But I would love for more people to be hired on specifically for the steam deck. The fact that we still don't have SteamOS for all PCs and the long-awaited ability to dual-boot into Windows or SteamOS, is really disappointing.
That’s what most of us is waiting for there was a leak last week from Microsoft but not a date most likely there waiting on steam to release the SD2 another yr are so
I browse games and demos on my tablet but some demos are on my tablet but not accessible on my steam deck's steam side. I was told by Valve to go to the desk top and download those demos on the desktop side then transfer them to the steam side which is a real pain in the butt because of the small print and I also lack a keyboard & have to use the virtual keyboard. I can now buy it in my tablet and have it go directly to my library. Later I can download the game itself to my deck. Thank you Valve!
In discovery, the lawyers do not get to see the redactions. It's basically just removing information from the documents that you're not forced to share. And the reason this is called a "a leak" is that it was redacted improperly. Basically, a PDF that had black boxes that would work if printed, but weren't enough for sending the document digitally. Other than that, great video, as always!
Yeah or gave the employees steam decks or hardware discounts for supporting valve. Valve makes hand over fist, they should start throwing that money at problems and speed up the process outside the company.
But also we will be on steamdeck 3 while still arguing about this while Microsoft buys up every developer for gamepass contracts that exclude Linux development.
Really hope EA removes the launcher from the existing DA games (and ME trilogy while they're at it) too like they did for It Takes Two. Would buy that stuff again if it was suddenly seamless to play on Deck.
I love the hand held gaming device market. I have a Deck, a Legion Go, and an ROG ally. I replaced my ~$1500 desktop (broken by water dumped into on accident by my at the time 6 year old son), with the Legion go. I use my deck daily, mostly for youtube and sometimes for games. the ally I never use. its the kids.
I'd like for the "Steam Console" to be the same as the Deck 2 and mostly identical to the Deck 1, just docked to a decent low power eGPU supporting both Steam and standard controllers. With this, Valve would gain enough presence to be the fourth offering beside Sony, Nintendo and Microsoft, forcing game studios to at least support Proton based gaming.
good on EA and Bioware but I would phrase it differently. You don't just hand over Steam Deck compatibility like this; that's extra programming work that they had to factor into how much it cost to make it. Bioware must have convinced EA that this was the right thing to do, especially since they want to ensure Dragon Age's revival is successful
Valve should give developers and publishers a discount on hardware for supporting systems. Give them a deck and convince them by first handheld experience.
Unless steamos adds there own frame generation built in like FSR. Windows OS is the way to go all because of lossless scailing. It makes handhelds so powerfull.
I know it's probably expected, but has anyone noticed their left joystick getting more loose, like less pressure to move around than the right joystick? Still works completely fine, just frustrating for a device I paid $700.92 on
Valve makes soo much money and doesn’t throw money into contracts that benefit their device. They are literally living on prayers for support while sitting on a vault of persuasion. The Subscription service is controlling the market and valve wants nothing to do with it. They need to start convincing these dev guys that money is dangling from the steam deck.
The companies do this out of a lack of empathy and abundance of ignorance and greed. Worse its self defeating to ruin potential sales or future sales for that matter with little more than ignorance or negligence as the excuse. This is precisely why we need to be less "blind consumers" and pay attention to how these companies treat us and who we support.
If they really do these things I will probably buy it on launch if reviews are okay. I normally wait patiently for sales. I bought Elden Ring at launch because of the support also. Bioware should get the other Dragon Age games at least upgraded to playable. The experience on the Deck is MUCH, MUCH better than on PC for controller players. I miss my steam controller...
I'm planning on making an ITX SteamOS pc later this year or early next year because I want a console like experience for my pc games without having to deal with Microsoft.
HOLY CRAP!!!!!! 79!!!! How is Epic Store so BAD?!!!?!! Epic can't pay to hire like 200 devs just to make and improve their store? Do they only have like 20? Or are the devs that work on Steam just the same ones that started 20 years ago? Like I seriously don't understand how less than 100 devs can make the best PC gaming store for 2 decades straight.
The recording feature sucks right now on linux at least. I tell it to store my recordings on my raid array but it still uses my nvme. Sure I /could/ solve the issue with symlinks but I don't want to.
"That's not our problem, that's a Valve problem..." Ubisoft, what about the customers playing your games? Don't you think it's their problem that you caused? Or is that not even worth a mention?🤦 When Valve drops a home entertainment console, companies taking the cheap route now are going to have to scramble to put together a linux anti cheat/drm. Until then though, it's frustrating.
Valve need to make some Steam API tools for porting the games to Proton or even Native Linux, untill valv e creates some kind of API/Software this will always be an issue, also maybe lave need to start sending decks out to some more developers
I just pirate the games that need drm or launchers someone else already fixed the issue and since the game was not made for me to enjoy I don't see not paying as an issue if you want my money put your game on steam without a launcher or drm..... Great content as always bro!!!!
Any updates on SteamOS for PC? i'd be glad to ditch Windows (or put it in VM for games that wouldn't work).. Wonder why Valve is not pushing harder on this front.
EA get a lot of shit and rightly so - so lets acknowledge and praise them actually listening to what many of us want. This was not a game I'd have gotten day one normally, but I will make of point of picking this up on release.
Maybe EA is scared about the success of DA:TV because as far as my knowlegdes carries me it will be also a modernity disaster. So they try to get as many buyers as possible with making it avialable for Steam Deck.
These companies will come around imho. Steam deck is selling orders of magnitude more than any other handheld. And rhe base keeps on growing. There are a few million of us already. Valve is doing what it needs to do. Fix things for now... As the userbase grows. EA's approach woth their biggest launch of this generation so far is basically them going "ok... We need to listen to these people". And they need a success. If they fuck this up after Battlefield debacles and so forth... Uuuufff... It must be starting to hurt. I would be curious to see how their football game is doing as they lost Fifa licence so not sure how that impact their bottom line.
That’s my view as well it won’t be long there are already devs that port games to Linux and the great thing about the deck is that it knows it’s running Linux so if you buy a game that has both the windows symbol and the Linux symbol it will automatically choose the Linux port when booting on the deck but on a windows machine it will choose the windows version it’s honestly a good system and works well
Never own an Xbox, got as high as PS2, WiiU for nintendo, 3ds XL also for nintendo. I use my SteamDeck 85% of the time, 10% PC (which my wife likes that im not hogging the TV), and 5% on my Retroid 2+. If a game is not on PC, im not getting.
If the 360 Fable type cartoony looking game, that carries the Dragon Age name, didn't run well on a potato, I would be surprised. Nice to see EA devs supporting low end out of the box, hard to feel excited though when its this abomination. That said, EA have not won worst company of the year for multiple years in a row for no reason, so they can't be trusted.
Veilguard got SD Verification before an actual release date... It's hard to take this SD Verified rating seriously when we've seen the likes of Remnant II and The Last of Us Part 1 rated verified pre release, only for both games to run extremely poorly on Deck. Both of which have been rerated after the fact but there's no telling if Valve actually learned from their mistakes or if they're about to fall into another verification fiasco.
They don’t have to care. The steam deck is and has been obsolete for awhile. The second the first rog ally released the steamdeck was dead. Now you have a steamdeck for the same price as the original ally while playing everything 40% worse. Then claim oh it’s a oled screen. No oled is 1 terrible for games because of static images. 2 rog ally has vrr that alone allows it to destroy not only the steamdeck but every other windows handheld. Now that the x exists everything is obsolete.
i only wonder why companies like sega with there own anticheat can handle it no linux gamers get banned or blocked but useless AAA-gamemakers cant do it 🤣🤣🤣🤣 i say so if linux gamers are 1-2mil. and a game costs 80$ you not wanna the 80-160mil$ as a puplisher? wallbia is the best anticheat on world linux gamers and windows gamers and all console gamers can play it and i never see a bot or cheater in this games with wallbia :D
Your maths are a bit off as you are then assuming every single Linux user would be buying the game to get those sale figures of 80 to 160. You would probably only getting 5% at best.
