Steam getting proper Season Pass support with clearer guidelines and refunds for cancellations

Quoting: pbThe idea is good but some of it doesn't seem enforceable, I'm sure they will be adjusting these requirements.
What isn't enforceable? The only things they're enforcing is release date and promised content, both of which are very easily enforceable.
If you say so. We'll see.

GOG launch their Preservation Program to make games live forever with a hundred classics being 're-released'

Kinda moot, of course they need to keep the games in playable state if they want to sell them. But a net positive nevertheless.

New Steam Beta has more Game Recording improvements and a Linux fix

Quoting: pbThe files are there but I have no idea how to open and manage them, they don't seem to be in a proper media format. Any suggestions?
I haven't tried Game Recording with Steam yet, so does it show you/can you find the location of the files on your system and try playing them with, say, VLC?
Each recording has its own directory with a lot of files in it, most of them .m4s.
mpv/vlc are capable of playing the first few seconds when pointed to session.mpd file (which doesn't work either in the case I described) but afaik the whole recording can only be played via Steam client (it can be exported, in whole or in part, to .mp4 from there). At least I haven't found another way to open these files. :-/

I had 'save the last xx seconds' set to shift+F12 and when they added 'start/stop saving a clip' they also defaulted it to shift+F12. I had no idea and it resulted in two mangled clips (saved at the same time) which steam sees but cannot play. The files are there but I have no idea how to open and manage them, they don't seem to be in a proper media format. Any suggestions? It was a nice clip, or would have been. ;-)

Steam Deck the 'perfect platform' for their game say Escape From Castle Matsumoto devs

I enjoyed Spy vs Spy and later Double Agent [External Link], so it looks like a game for me, but I doubt I will have anyone to play it with.
