And if the game is doing great? They can keep milking the micro transactions

.

It's two-fold: online games can be shut down; online games can sell MTX cosmetics to instill FOMO. These random players look way cooler than me with their glowing cosmetics or product tie-ins! Hence why we saw them in Diablo 4.

There's already a DeckyLoader plugin for this, but it seems for now it's a manual plug-in install (not available yet on the plugin store). However this automates the installation of the Linux implementation of LosslessScaling, e.g. the hard part. The plugin provides your command line which you would copy and paste into the launch commands for your game.

This could be nice for getting GOG Galaxy Overlay and tracking working. Heroic Launcher does provide access to GoG cloud saves and some provisional achievement tracking but Galaxy would be strictly better.

Stellar Blade has consumed a lot of time, I'm already at 40 hours played, it's been great and it performs quite well on Deck.

So WuWa might finally work? ProtonDB reports have been getting better but so far installing it directly via Steam only results in failed launch. I'll try this again.

I'm tempted to buy MiniHealer despite early access and dev abandonment for 2+ years now. I just want to relive MMO healer class gameplay. Or maybe Ex-Zodiac for $6 tho it's also still early access.
If I had oodles of time I'd buy Blue Prince, AC Shadows, or the latest Indiana game. Still Wakes The Deep sounds excellent too.

@doragasu
Agreed that the selection is fairly uniformly bad to my eyes. Each month has one recognizably good game, one or maybe two games which are known-quantities, and then the rest are to put it nicely, Indie-Me-Too games that are an alternative take on an existing game type.
I've never subscribed to this so I can't really complain, but my point is I've never seen the value in subscribing if I'm mostly getting chaff that I may leave in key-form, unclaimed.

I go to NexusMods almost daily. I love following along each day watching new mods come out, tracking ones I like, watching for updates. I've subscribed in the past and I should do again.
This is worrying though. Nobody wants to see a fan site sold, and there's other mod websites out there that are explicitly attempting to made our community a monetized one. To say nothing of Patreon modders, of course.

This game seems so good that I'm very tempted to break my Early Access embargo and pick it up early.
