The Legion Go uses 'em - they're so good

I don't doubt that - but what does that have to do with this article?

Any word on Official Steam Deck support?

My laptop does this with 'Aurora', and I think it's a fantastic feature... Since my Steam Deck is usually docked, the lack of this functionality is one of my pet peeves.

Hopefully this is implemented in the 'stable' release channel soon.

Does this also work when Steam Deck is suspended or powered off?

If it's anything like 'Aurora' for ASUS laptops, it won't work when the Steam Deck is powered off, but will work when the Steam Deck is suspended.

What's your next most-wanted feature for the Steam Deck?
hall effect stick

Not too sure what that has to do with this particular article... But since I discovered Hall Effect controllers a few months ago, I'm sold.

Aside from the price, I'm yet to hear a negative thing about them, and I think it would be disappointing if any Steam Deck successors don't offer this.

When I am (financially) able to to, I will be replacing all of my controllers with Hall Effect controllers, where compatible (we have a lot of consoles, in addition to our Steam Decks and my laptop).

Nintendont-buy any more of their shit

I'll probably be giving the tenth generation of consoles a miss... Nintendo is partially to blame with their ridiculously over-priced "Switch 1.5 labeled as a Switch 2"; but it's mostly because the entire ninth generation of consoles has been a cruel joke at the expense of gamers in so many different ways.

And I've been religiously buying consoles each generation since the days of the Atari 2600 (i.e. the second generation of consoles), many of which I still have.

I don't know what the future of gaming is (though I have some ideas), but I feel like consoles are moving away from whatever the future is.

Have they added Official Steam Deck support yet? I want to pick this up so badly, but I can't bring myself to do so whilst the developer won't commit to Official Steam Deck support...

The survey doesn't only come up in desktop mode.

Really? I have been running Steam primarily in Big Picture mode for something like 7 years now, and I have only ever seen the survey pop-up when I switched to desktop mode.

Correct.

I've had the survey come up on my Steam Deck, just once... But then, I take the survey with an awfully big bucket of salt, because in all the years I've been using Steam under Linux (basically since the beginning of Linux support), I can only count on two hands the number of times I've seen the survey; and at least half of those have been because of new computers or "clean" installations of Steam / the operating system.

It's a stupid (and stupidly vague) law. I don't see how opt-in collection of information about our hardware for anonymous statistics endangers anyone's online safety. That said, Liam just can't risk a potential fine.

Yeah, Europe does a LOT of things better when it comes to privacy and seems to be a LOT more agressive pushing back against big companies - unlike Australia, which doesn't give two $*!ts about privacy... But what little of I understand of this legislation seems to give the impression that it's unnecessarily broad.

Anyway, were I in Liam's position, I probably would have done the same (short of moving the domain off shore), because those fines are a heck of a lot of money.

Whatever happened to the statistics on this website? Maybe it's just me, but I can't seem to find the option anymore... Ditto for the forums.

What's the current most annoying issue you want to see solved on Steam?

The lack of big-name, online multiplayer games.

I love my Steam Deck and it has quickly become my main "console" - but if the Steam Deck is ever going to compete with "The Big Three" (Nintendo, Microsoft and Sony) directly or make real headway in market share, they need to either find a way to get the majority of online multiplayer games working, or find a way to convince developers to actually support Linux-based operating systems.

It's a shame this game is not working on the Steam Deck, because it actually looks pretty good!
