Some other plans are in progress too like a paid asset store and merchandise.Merch is quite straightforward - GOL has that, too [External Link] - but a paid asset store is a gnarly problem to solve. It can be lucrative - as seen with Unity and Unreal Engine - but it does take a lot of resources to keep the whole thing running.

I got Gears 5 in a bundle with a bunch of games that I was much more interested in, so I wasn't bothered that it didn't work. If it works now I might give it a go at some point. It's a chonker download, though.

Quoting: emphyIt doesn't matter which ones you turn off. Friend comes online, you make progress towards an achievement (not just getting the achievement), and everything else all pop up the notification bell on the Deck.Quoting: CatKillerDon't know how it is on the deck, but the newfangled client has a whole section of the settings dedicated to notification finetuning.Is there a particular bug you're hoping to be solved soon?The notification spam on Steam Deck is really annoying.
I've all notifications disabled that can be, and haven't seen a single one cropping up since.

I chatted to one person that was peeved that they couldn't play games they owned on Macs any more. I said they should get a Deck. They did, and seem happy with it.

Quoting: slaapliedjeFirst they killed 32bit support... then they moved to ARM. Granted I will never understand how the mac got any games made for it... don't know a single mac user that games on their laptop...Don't forget "froze on an ancient version of OpenGL and then ditched the idea of cross-platform graphics APIs entirely."

Quoting: Marlockmaybe Valve is trying to make a stronger name for the Deck worldwide before taking a chance thereI think having an official third party releasing in Hong Kong is as close as Valve wants to get to an official release in China. They've had to make a Steam For China since Chinese customers were using VPNs and vanilla Steam to get round the restrictions on gaming in China; there are 30-something games released per day on Steam, but around that many are authorised for sale in China per year; if you're too young it's a legal requirement that you're only allowed to spend a specified number of hours per week gaming, and only at specified times. It's just way too many headaches all round to try to sell a vanilla-Steam-based gaming machine whose main attraction is that you can play on it whenever you want.

Something to keep in mind though, is that for a lot of people the Steam Deck will be an additional system, not their only one used by Steam but you usually only get the survey on one machine.This is definitely not the case. You get the survey on every machine with Steam, although at different times for each machine. Those for whom the Deck is a complementary system will have an entry in the survey from the Deck when it's the Deck's turn, and an entry in the survey for their other machine when it's the other machine's turn.
