Quoting: finaldestSo Valve are validating games that are no longer available to purchase.

Was going to buy "Mortal Kombat Komplete Edition" but it is no longer available to purchase on steam.
that is good for people who already purchased those.
unlike me , who were waiting for the games to work on linux/officialy support linux, then missed the boat because i cant purchase then anymore and have to pirate since they arent avaliable for sale anywhere ¬¬

i dont think its common to make accesories for an product that didnt launched yet, but i think they're smarth, i mean, the deck hasnt even launched yet and it already have an bigger library than switch relased years ago, it pretty much cant fail unless it has some critical hardware oversight that kill it (eg: red rings of death)

Steam Deck Verified jumps to over 240 titles

Quoting: AussieEeveeI just check this list every time it comes up for Persona 5. Not a game I play, but a friend was complaining it wasn't verified.

Which I don't think people understand is that not verified doesn't mean it won't run. Just that valve hasn't confirmed it to be an out of the box one click run.
borked on protonDB.
dont run, not even close, and persona5 isnt avaliable for pc, what we have is Persona 5 strikers

Quoting: BlackBloodRumWaiting for a windows user to say "But there's not enough games for SteamOS!" :huh:
just think about it for a moment:
why there are 60.000 pc games on steam?
because we have 60.000 niches.
ok, not really 60.000, but you get the point,
maybe you dont care about an game in particular, but this game may be an deal breaker for someone else.
people dont chose the game based on what run on their platform, they chose the platform based on what games run on it, and in the case of steam deck, its much better than switch but people can install windows on it...

thanks for saving me the trouble of reading 9 pages of comments and replying on why people are wrong on the internt.
actually, i think we have 12 pages there already...

we all should see that coming, but it still frustrating, we are so close, yet so far...

Epic Games CEO says a clear No to Fortnite on Steam Deck
9 Feb 2022 at 4:55 pm UTC

Quoting: SirBubblesWhen FortNite comes crashing down (as it must at some point) Epic will likely go with it, as that is what mostly funds Epic as a whole.
better not hold your breath then, it may be a fad that people forget after a few days, or may become part of pop culture like pokemon, mario and zelda and be there to stay, forever.

maybe not as popular as its now, but with so many crossovers as they're doing, i think its very unlikely that they will lose popularity
