Quoting: SchattenspiegelGreat to see Demo culture getting a comeback

For the first time, I had tried out a lot of demos in this Next Fest and it was great! It really remembered me on my early childhood days in which I tried demos on PS2. That was great days back then.

And also the Steam Next Fest February 2024 was really nice, can't await the Next Fest in June 2024

I tried 39 games from the Next Fest (February 2024) and all games, which I tested works fine on Linux and also on my Steam Deck.

Some of my favorites:
- Pacific Drive
- Rotwood
- Synergy
- Ultros (just released yesterday)
- Grippy Golf
- Biomorph
- Nevergrave
- Backpack Battles
- #Drive Rally

After I ignored all prior Steam Next Fests in the past, this time I enjoyed that until the last second and it remembered me on my early childhood days, on which I played demo games from DVD-ROMs on the PS2.

I even keep my main PC and my Steam Deck offline to still enjoy the game demos.

It feels like Ubisoft is one of the most greedy game companies there.

Even so greedy that they don't release their games on Steam, only on Epic and on their own crappy launcher.

And they saying that we should be comfortable with not owning games? Oh yes, without their games because they are overpriced and crappy as well.

If I buy games, then I'll do that on Steam – GOG and itch are also great options, but Steam is the best store for Linux/Steam Deck

On Steam and itch, I have the most games in my whole library

My opinion is: every game, that's not developed/published by AAA studios or games that's slightly different from the usual AAA gameplay/style are indie in my sense.

There are AAA-like games, that can be called indie, because it's not from a AAA studio/dev

And there are indie-like games from the big players, that couldn't be called indie, because they was developed by an AAA studio

So, if a game is from EA, Ubi, Activision/Blizzard etc., it's AAA regardless of gameplay, style or other attributes.

Games, that are not from the above mentioned devs are considered indie in my sense regardless of style or gameplay.

But there are devs like Larian (BG3) or Valve (CS/HL), that i can't clearly put into AAA or indie section because they are something special and difficult to differentiate.

This sale is finally a chance, to clean up my wishlist entirely.

Horizon Zero Dawn for 12.49€ is a great deal.

Happy Birthday GOL. Thanks to GOL, i entered Linux gaming faster as i thought.
i discovered Linux in 2011 and GOL in 2019, but i fully switched to Linux in 2020.

and also through GOL, i discovered hundreds of great Linux games, Steam Deck verified games and hidden gems for Linux/Steam Deck, that i probably had never discovered on other gaming sites.

Thank you so much for that :D

I'm very happy to see, that the Steam Deck does his job very well.

i finally got the mail at July 25, received my Deck on July 29 and i really love the Steam Deck.

I played Steam games for the first time since 2020. I'm back in the gaming sector :D

PS: i ordered two 512GB microSD cards for my Steam Deck (with the 3rd 512GB microSD card on the way)
PPS: i'm very happy, that i switched the OS on all my PCs to Linux in 2020. It was the best decision in my life, because almost all games works great on Linux finally!

finally! i get that game in the Humble Stand with Ukraine bundle, but i don't redeemed the code, because it doesn't worked on Linux, but after i read this news, i instantly redeemed the key on Steam. It's really nice to see, that even more games with anti cheat finally works on Linux
