Does it keep the games up to date or is manual patching needed when updates are released?

I used to use SC quite a lot in the past, but ever since I received Xbox One controller bundled in with a computer parts purchase, it became obsolete. SC is raw - XBone controller is way more comfortable for longer playing sessions.
The haptics are a nice touch but rarely make sense... basically I used them only for browsing around the desktop when I streamed the PC into the living room TV via Steam Link.
The true killer feature of the SC was the gyro. In my humble opinion, they should ditch the haptics and the layout - make it the same layout as the XBone controller is as it is so darn comfortable for longer gaming sessions, keep the grip buttons and keep the gyro. Maybe also add a dedicated button to enable gyro on the fly as the best way to use it on the SC was to have the gyro come into play once the thumb touched the right haptic pad - it made the SC usable in shooters and left the competition in the dust (except the kb/mouse of course).

Looking good for me... just hoping not to have a ton of moon logic puzzles. :D

Wow, I absolutely love it!
I hope that they put the main emphasis on the creepy storytelling instead of action though. And well, one can still hope for 21:9 support. :D

Hahahaha, I would love if they would actually re-write it to Vulkan... because anything less is pretty much useless as it runs like crap even on windows. :D
But you know, hope dies last and it will probably be a "year of linux desktop"™ next year.

Ehhhh. I have used this a lot for streaming stuff in-house, sad to see it discontinued. I too have a smartTv but an LG one which runs linux and not android - so no link app for me. :(
Who knows how long they'll plan on supporting the steam link interface - maybe I'll need to simply get a chromecast then.

Thanks Tuubi, I'm still as blind as a bat... and I don't mean the animal. :D

Quoting: adolsonIf I'm a developer, I don't see why I should put any effort into a Linux version.

Because supporting your users is proper. If you don't want to do that - you'd be a bad developer.

Tons of developers already don't support Linux. And now that their games can possibly easily be run on Linux with zero effort on their part, you think they're going to suddenly start to care? Give me a break.

First, we need a reasonable marketshare - before that no dev is gonna give a rat's a%%% about Linux unless they're personally invested in the well being of the platform. And Steam Play will be a brilliant step towards having a bigger marketshare.

That's my 2cents if anyone cares. :D

I am absolutely loving it so far!
Even though I'm not at home at my main rig, I can now, instead of messing about with wine, just simply click to install and play some of the older games on Steam - this is absolutely brilliant! And the best part is the way that Proton scales the image instead of interacting with X resolution - it even work on titles which use DOSBOX!!! I installed and one-click-ran Little Big Adventure 1 original edition which uses dosbox and it's PERFECT! Before this I used to use a script to change the screen resolution, then start dosbox and then the game and then revert the resolution - now it's just a single-click experience as it should be!
I am so glad that Valve keeps on investing into the Tux and it really is starting to pay off. =)>
