Quoting: missingnoForget about power, I just want a Steam Deck Pocket. One that fits in my pocket.

So... need line of "VALVE" chips. 3 ofc.
1st: Sub 10W, 1-5W or something for SteamPalm/Pocket/Pouch.
2nd: Chip for SteamDeck 2, generation leap? from barely 30fps to solid 60fps same game same power consumption.
3rd: 60-180W for SteamConsole or for those who constantly droning about 144Hz and 4K, SD-PPS (Portable Power Station edition aka always in the wall socket).

Quoting: pleasereadthemanualSome patents The Pokemon Company owns: https://patents.justia.com/assignee/the-pokemon-company [External Link]

BS filed 2019-2023 and granted 2023-2024... Yep, those NEVER existed and are totally new innovations, nothing like this ever have been done, nothing in those decades, a half century of games and virtual worlds...
Sadly... will be plenty of fan(atic)s and general corporate backside lickers defending it.

Quoting: ElectricPrism- Multiplayer

Live and kicking... everything must be/have multiplayer... First, properly finish main/single-player game, than can shoehorn other stuff (multiplayer, co-op, platforming, survival, battle royale, skins, NFT, etc), preferably, without messing-up latter.
Plenty examples of "extra features" adding addition figures to production cost not to sales number.

Quoting: elmapulcoming from the company who made the steam controller and put macros for specials in fighting games as an built-in advertised feature...

And what's wrong with it? Not all game are competitive multiplayer. Not all have perfectly functional dexterous hand.

Quoting: PyrateFurthermore, people asking for Deck 2 to run current games... do you guys want to throw $1K or more on your handhelds?

Couple to few time that, top of the line struggling with current release "quality" and "optimization" way to often.

Hopes... proper jump in hardware, not undervolted laptop APU/SoC; proper world wide and average (big) electronic store release and availability; not targeting enthusiast and people with no sense and too much cash to burn... not many can replace hardware every 3 year or less (or get free samples), a lots beyond 5 or even 8 year mark.

Quoting: Purple Library GuyOne thing to keep in mind is, I bet a lot of those characters are not just copyrighted, but trademarked. And the thing about trademarks is, if you don't maintain them by stopping people from using them, you can lose them. This can push companies to behaviours even more annoying than they would instinctively do on their own.

Fan art and parodies, prise and criticism [insert TM here] not alowed... got it...

Quoting: stormtuxWhen a restructuring company splits in two it is usually because they want to keep the "good" parts and put the "bad" parts in a "bad company" that can be left to die. This is a little different, why 3 companies? The "AAA" company is probably the profitable one, the one they plan to keep milking. But the other two? Two different levels of risk of investment? :huh:

"bad" ones - will leave to wither and die.
"OK" ones - will parcel off.
"good" ones - for keeping.

Or something on those lines...

Quoting: DanielzThey recently updated Skyrim with some steam deck improvements in late 2023. It broke all of the modpacks I used for months, so if you are interested in playing modded fallout in the next few months, you might want to setup the mod pack now, and disable automatic updates until your mods are back up to date.

Steam deck "updates"... things like Creation Club exists or just Bugthesda.

Quoting: jams3223So inspiration is a crime now, so maybe we should make our own unique food recipes, our own unique clothing style, or our own unique musical genre.

According to corporations and fan(atics) of specific (media) products - YES :sick:
