Quoting: Purple Library Guy

Quoting: elmapulactually that is bad...
i cant remember the name, but there were an console in the past that was killed because it announced it sequel too soon.
people stop purchasing thinking: why should i buy an <console_name> if they gonna relase the <console_name2> soon and the one i just purchased will be obsolete? i will wait for the <console_name2> instead!
as an result, the company stop selling <console_name> and went broke before they could relase the <console_name2>...

i'm not saying valve will go broke, but announce an steamdeck2 too soon may afect the sales of steam deck 1.

I've been browsing articles about the Deck outside of GoL, and I see a lot of comments from people saying they plan to wait--either for the software to mature a bit more, or for the next version.

Mind you, Gabe is saying they've got more demand than they expected, so that just might mean this machine will keep on getting buyers for some time.

i know they will take sometime to relase the steam deck 2, but they should make sure that people know it will take some time.

Quoting: Anza

Quoting: elmapul

Quoting: mr-victory

Quoting: elmapulyou need an comparision point... eg: test it on windows too.
i saw a lot of reports on protonDB from people who never played an particular game saying it run flawless on linux, then you open the game and... where are the cutscenes? where is the video behind the title screen?

If they didn’t notice something is wrong, then Proton did its job nicely :grin:

sigh, nope, they never tried the game on windows so they dont know they are missing some features.
some people may not care about missing features, but a lot of people do, especially those who know those features supose to be there.
if we dont fix it, they will go back to windows.

Cutscenes is bit more of an licensing issue. Linux could play them, but Valve can't include the codec because it would eat their profits.

What Valve is doing is that they automatically re-encode the videos into free format. And at least these days there's hint that there's a missing video.

sigh, that is not the issue, end users dont want to know the reason, they want things to "just work", or at least to know that something isnt supported.

this conversation has being going forever.
"why i cant play mp3,wmv, xyz on linux?"
oh, thos proprieatary formats are evil, you should save your file format in an libre format instead!
fine... but i already downloaded this music... plus the free codec to compact video is crap!

"why i cant play on linux"
"oh, because those games are proprietary and evil ! and made to be windows exclusive!"

^then we solve those issues:
why the cutscenes on this game dont work?
"oh because..."
sigh.

no one want "excuses" people want solutions, now, i know why the cutscnes dont work, i just wish people could be informed that they will be missing part of the content by playing on linux so they can make the informed decision of if they care or not about the cut content.
if we cant fix it now, at least let people know that they are playing without the story of the game, so they dont spoil the experience, ask then to wait until this problem is solved and let then know when its fixed.

"An extra quirk / bug I've come across here has me a bit puzzled. My latest-gen (Series X) Xbox Controller works perfectly using a simple USB-C to USB-A adapter to plug it directly into the Deck but it does not work if the controller is plugged into my USB-C hub. However, my knock-off Amazon Xbox controller works with both — eh? Confusing and a little annoying to be sure."

i think the charger got confused...
it dont know if it should charge the controller or the steam deck...

Quoting: Purple Library Guyyes i completely agree that gacha/lootbox, gamepasses, mtx, online drm, are BULLSHIT.
that is exactly the kind of experience that i recomend everyone to boycot.
that said, the moment that you use some thing as basis for comparission, is the moment i know you dont have anything better to compare with.

I don't think you are talking to someone who doesn't know what their taste is, I think you're talking to someone with quite definitely decided preferences, and those preferences do not include AAA games. So you just come off like someone telling someone their taste is shit and they should like what you like, and really that doesn't work.[/quote]nah, what i was trying to say is:
it dont matter if the game is AAA or indie, dont give up on a good game just because it dont support linux, you may not fund it, but play it.

Quoting: Alm888Are you serious right now?

So, having a loot run in "Project Zomboid" or building an empire in "X4: Foundations" is somehow worthless, while shooting General Barkovs and G-12s at the "Death Road" or smashing Lenin statues while reading some weepy notes of "GULAG victims" in "Tomb Raider" is a worthwhile activity? Are you implying there are "True Gamers" playing only the best games, while my ex-boss (for example) playing some chess on his "Windows 98" PC at lunch breaks every day just wastes his time on garbage?

i dont know what kind of game YOU play, i do know what kind of game i played, i wasted tons of hours on shit games because they were "free" or stuff like that, i was so used to not have money to buy anything, that i start accepting any shit that was free as an alternative to not having anything to play, instead of pirating games like everyone else do.

i'm not saying YOU ARE WASTING YOUR TIME, i'm saying i am and i want to make sure that no one else does what i did.
that is why i'm asking you to reflect upon your actions.
are you really playing an game because its fun? or are you locked F.O.M.O. due to some gimicks like daily login reward?
i havent played tombraider to know if its worth, but i played a lot of games games like DDKR64 , and competing in the time trial against my brother was one of the best experiences ever, that i forgot how good it was when i got used to play any shit, forgot to value my time.

Quoting: Alm888Please, come to your senses! We are discussing games, effectively a time wasters, no matter what appearance they have. There are no "must play" "cult classic" games, only those that are fun (to you) and those that are not. And "AAA" does not make a game fun. Expensive? Sure. Resource-demanding? Most probably (those GPUs won't sell themselves, after all). But fun? Nope.

I say it again: good riddance! Good bye to "lootboxes", "game passes", "microtransactions", "always-online DRM" and other exciting attributes of modern "AAA games".

yes i completely agree that gacha/lootbox, gamepasses, mtx, online drm, are BULLSHIT.
that is exactly the kind of experience that i recomend everyone to boycot.
that said, the moment that you use some thing as basis for comparission, is the moment i know you dont have anything better to compare with.

Quoting: denyasisThanks! I'll try to check it out on my lunch break. I think it totally make sense that a porter would use a layer/translation tool/wrapper, especially if it is a business trying to maximize efficiency. I wasn't trying to imply the porters are lazy or anything, my apologies if it came off that way.

i has been a long time since i saw this video for the second/last time, so feel free to correct me if i made any mistake about its content, my memory isnt perfect after all.

in any case i didnt wanted to say that you implied that porters are lazy, i was just predicting that someone would come with that argument and replying it before it could ever happen to save time/headache for my future self.
