My take on this is that I won't buy the Switch 2 because the Steam Deck still satisfies my gaming without whatever restrictions that Nintendo likes to do with their console. Also, as I've mentioned in the past, I'm not giving anymore money to them for all the crap they've been pulling for decades on and even their games do nothing for me nowadays.

As for the Steam Deck 2, it'd be cool if they could add support for eGPUs since that would make it nice to play games with better performance/resolution when docked. Also, as many others have said, a better battery to last longer while on the go. Other than that, the Steam Deck has been an awesome device for me and I would gladly buy a Steam Deck 2 whenever it gets released.

Quoting: PyreticNay for no local coop, yay for LAN coop and gamepad support. LAN support means that I can use Nucleus Coop to hook multiple games together

Sounds like you're setting up for a LAN party (if that's still a thing) :wink:

I guess it took enough complaints from players to oppose this change when it should've never happened in the first place.

Quoting: elmapulits good to see that big companies are starting to support linux thanks to the steam deck, but lets be honest, this is the bare minimum, GFN already worked it was just a matter of then making it official, and the fact that it took so long...

If they want to make it official, then they should make a client like they do with Windows and Mac so that we don't have to use a browser. Otherwise, this is no better than what Microsoft does when they tell you how to play Xcloud on the Steam Deck.

It's great that they finally provided an installer, but if you've already gotten it setup in the past, then you should be good to go. Also, I'm glad that they finally added controller support because it's annoying to use a mouse to navigate to a game you want to play.

From watching the video, some of the game play reminds me of Clock Tower and the overall look of it is fantastic. I wishlisted the game to remind myself to buy it in the future.

It's great that Nvidia continues to make some open source contributions but until DLSS becomes a thing on Linux, I'll just continue to support AMD even if their FSR implementation never comes close to matching DLSS.

Quoting: fabertaweI don't get it... are Nintendo selling official Nintendo workshop content for Garry's Mod and the unofficial stuff is biting into their margins?

The only outcome from this is negativity toward Nintendo.

This is Nintendo's MO for the longest time when it comes to anyone using their IPs without their permission, regardless if it's a mod or not. If you don't get permission from them, then you can't use it and they have the right to get it taken down. There are many examples of them pushing their IP policing powers to take down fan made projects, mods, Youtube videos and others. What the modders are doing is pretty much FAFO (F*** Around Find Out).

This is why I've despised them for the longest time and never bother to give them a dime for whatever games they produce, which isn't all that great IMO.

As confusing as the name sounds, I'm not inclined to give my money for early access to any game since they always come out broken anyways :grin:

At this rate, you might as well wait awhile for a sale if you have the patience since you'll save a lot of money in the long run and most of the issues from the early release will get fixed. Worse case scenario is the developer abandons it and you're stuck with a broken game that you could refund from Steam or any other third party seller unless you wait too long to go through the process, then you're pretty much SOL.
