To me, it looks like one of those "nobody wants to do it because nobody is doing it".More like "Nobody wants to do it, because it is work/costs money and doesn't pay"?

I have fond memories of Liège waffles with their sugar starting to caramelize inside and outside, sweet, warm, soft, and a bit chewy & crunchy from the caramel.I never ate one, but now I want to! :wub:

And delta transfer shouldn't do much CPU noise on the receiving side.

It's not compression, it's delta-patching. The updates are the diffs between the old files and the new. After you've downloaded the diffs your computer uses that data to create the new files from the parts.Well... I wouldn't believe if you told they're not transferring compressed (which you didn't explicitly do).
And delta transfer shouldn't do much CPU noise on the receiving side.

Isn't it nice that Microsoft lets them do such work on that old games, including the Linux version as it seems?

I cannot comment on Bazzite. I was talking about Steam being a gaming site, but many Steam users probably still using their PC for many things, not only gaming.I'm using Steam and I'm using my (Linux) PC for many other things, and I bet that's the case for most of us. So yes, I think their point is valid.No it's not, because Bazzite is far more [...]

I prefer real time + pause mechanic myself, but it's cool they are adding an option for turn based mode. I wish games with turn mode only did the same the other way.I remember I thought back then real time plus (configurable!) automatic pause is the optimum between tactics and action.

Perfect time for a revisit, and maybe this way I can carry over my saves and finally play the second installment!I didn't (yet) succeed in carrying over the game saves to PoE II. :-(

So yes, I think their point is valid.From what I gathered Bazzite is a very specific distro, it's not general purpose. So I'm not surprised it's more niche than general purpose Arch.@Shmerl: I think you missed the bit where this was a Steam survey - and Steam is primarily used by gamers, so unfortunately your argument isn't relevant here.
Not everyone uses computers only for gaming, I'd imagine majority actually uses them for everything, and gaming is just one use case among many.

16GB demo....crazy lol.It reads like they took the full game and just changed some variables. It's ok in my book. We do get to test it for free. (As long as you don't have some "data plan".)
