Pretty sure it's for regulatory reasons and not a decision stemming from Valve's own philosophy. They're just covering their behind.

The cheapest I could find is about the same price as the top-tier Steam Deck, while most are 10-20% more. Why even bother...

Not as classic as the Amiga masterpiece from Cinemaware. But I think a remake of sorts was already released on mobile.
You mean this?

They should probably update the FAQ:

Is there a Mac or Linux version available?

At this time Wings will only work on Windows. However we are working on versions for other platforms. Follow us on social media to stay up to date on when we have further announcements on this topic.

Not entirely wrong, but then they should plan the transition to a more modern engine or update of the existing one - the trucks themselfs look great, but the environment is starting to show its age for sure.
AFAIK they are updating/reworking the oldest maps, like Germany. And the engine gets updates regularly, too. I think they reworked sound not that long ago.

Quoting: fagnerlnIt can sound weird, but IMO they should focus on a sequel. They already put a lot of work on it, which is amazing, no doubts, but how much is too much?

Darn, I hoped I could break the good news to my kids about Fall Guys, but apparently there's still some more waiting until that. :unsure:

Valve answer questions about the Steam Deck in a new FAQ, anti-cheat for all Linux systems
23 Sep 2021 at 3:39 pm UTC

"Can you have multiple Steam accounts on one Steam Deck?
Yes, and each account on a Steam Deck will keep its own local save data and settings."

Sweet, it was a major pain in SteamOS 1&2.

Nice, it's been sitting on my disk for months, taking ~1GB, and I didn't even remember I downloaded it. Now I can delete the dir, put the game on my steam "play soon" queue and install it just when I'm about to play. :whistle: Gaming on Linux before Steam was hard. :grin:
