> However, the main game and the Royal Court expansion prices remain unchanged.

Most markets got a price hike for the main game back in May. I wouldn't be surprised if it happened again soon.

Is there a way to filter out topics irrelevant to, nomen omen, gaming on linux? This one is more about developing on windows...

> "this is impacting us so heavily"

ok, but what if people who go to such extreme measures are from other poor countries that *don't* have regional pricing and instead are paying "regular" prices in usd or euro? and it's their only realistic alternative to just pirating the game?

Quoting: pbI can't wait for a proper "normal pc" release of SteamOS. My self-made-steam-machine went from SteamOS 1 to SteamOS 2 to GamerOS to EndeavourOS but it pines for SteamOS 3 all the time.
If the GPU is AMD, SteamOS 3 or one of its derivates (Holo, Winesap...) should work fine.
Unfortunately it's from the times when nvidia seemed to be a better choice. :unsure:
Anyway I'm aware of Holo but after the experiences with "SteamOS replacement" GamerOS, I'll just wait for the official release.

Quoting: grigiSadly many games designed for mobiles adopt predatory strategies, and they really don't care if the game makes you happy.

And here I was thinking that Denuvo will now be a DLC for those who really like it, leaving the base game clean, for those who don't.

That's actually pretty ingenious. I wonder if it leads to more users purchasing a stadia version of the game, since they will be able to experience how it performs for them. Or maybe capcom plans to sell a streamed version via their own label?

On an unrelated note, I unsubscribed from stadia not long after receiving my SteamDeck. It works great for me, but I found I hardly ever used it any more. Glad that I will still have access to the games I purchased, without the need for subscription. I probably won't miss the Pro titles that much.
