Quoting: grigiI've seen reporters have a discussion where they say "Oh that dude, he's got magic knowledge, he does things with Linux".

It's more like most people just don't understand that you... Just... have to try.

Yeah, this new referral system used by Humble is completely useless if you have any sort of ad blocker installed.

Quoting: HighballI would speculate, the engineering challenges incurred when playing the Steam Deck upside down.

The reverse gravity interferes with the electron flow, so they had to invert the chip design to be compatible with the southern hemisphere.

Wow, this is a big can of worms to open.

If they allow software that changes the behavior of Steam (e.g. plugins) on the store itself, it would surely open up a lot of possibilities, but also ripe for abuse.

I would hate to see Steam become this:
