Split Fiction from Hazelight Studios and EA gets Steam Deck Verified and no EA app needed

No EA account then? Because It Takes Two had that, and it doesn't say you'll need one on the steam page.

Popular game launcher Playnite will get Linux support but it's still a while away

Wow! Great news.

Playnite was all I used when I used to be on Windows. I miss it greatly and have had trouble adjusting to Steam's library interface, and didn't find Lutris customizable and feature-rich enough for me.

Development on Playnite has not been very consistent, and I expected the developer to just forget about Linux support, but maybe not. We'll see if it's actually usable and most of the features work, especially the plugins and themes.

Hmm... I hadn't opened Steam up in weeks until yesterday! Coincidence? I think not!

Well we saw this coming... fortunately the game is not as good as it once was.

While you likely don't actually need any more games, just a few more to fill up your backlog wouldn't hurt right?
Ow.

Anyways, I picked up a few games.

EA Anti-Cheat arrives for Battlefield 1 breaking it on Steam Deck / Linux

Quoting: _Mars
Quoting: Grimy1540Damn. I bought this game a few months ago and had no idea they planned to bring the anti-cheat to this game. Didn't even get the chance to start it up, any chance Steam would refund something like this? I think their refund window is under a month, sadly.
You can make multiple refund attempts. The first one is usually done by a bot but later ones are done by support.
Mention the situation with anti-cheat and that you haven't played it yet (I imagine they can check the play time). You'll probably have a good chance for a refund.
Thanks, I didn't know that. I guess it's worth a shot.

STAR WARS Jedi: Survivor gets Denuvo DRM removed, plus performance improvements

Does anybody else feel like this game was an unnecessary sequel? The first game was great and all, but the ending wrapped it up pretty well for me. I would only really play this game for the graphics and gameplay, but I'm not really sure how they would expand on an already finished story.
