Deck Builders Round Up

From the heading, I really thought this would be a round-up of people building a new version of their game for Steam Deck. :D

Please Fix The Road will have an official version just for pirates

I'm not sure it's useful to make the pirate's version different, apart from a buy option. It could make the version appeal to some people.

To have a collection for each?
My manager would ask: "But where's the customer's benefit?" :)

I agree to the rest: Give us SELE erm... boolean operators.

Currently you cannot set it to just Playable titles.
I'm unsure why I would want to do that, though?

"Give me perfect" and "give me good (including perfect)" seem like the most interesting choices if you are looking for something to play on Deck...
I even have untested shown. That made me start playing The Coma, which is a perfect fit for the deck even though it is still untested.
I get that, too, but why would I want Playable without Verified?

Wolfire versus Valve antitrust lawsuit to continue
12 May 2022 at 7:50 am UTC

Quoting: CatKiller
Quoting: GroganI don't see why Valve would delist games for being sold cheaper elsewhere, that wouldn't help them at all. (obviously they'll get zero sales from those games if they don't sell them). That sounds like bollocks to me.
Wolfire's public assertion (which they've rather sanitised for their court filings) was that it was when they were announcing to some customer service person their intention to write a blog post about how they were going to give Steam's costumers a worse deal, that said person said not to do that and that doing that would mean they couldn't be friends any more.
I feel it would be something different though, on one hand just selling the game for less somewhere else, and on the other hand explicitly telling the customers "If you you would buy on Steam, you would pay more for our game!" The latter sounds like actively hurting Valve's business.

If it don't include Australia and New Zealand then its very limited afaic. :p
Stop making up places, next time you will try to convince me that Japan is also real and not just place from anime.
