Star Trek: Resurgence update should give a smoother experience on Steam Deck

I enjoyed this game up to a point, but the QTEs ended up being a bit much. There's one further into the game I was unable to complete, where you have to keep your cursor inside this circle and it constantly moves.

I have a wrist injury so that made it basically impossible to finish. I know these sort of games are alot of qtes, but this has alot more actually gameplay, so it'd be nice if there was accessibility options.

This makes little sense, 30% is pretty industry standard.

Keeping prices consistent makes it better for the consumer, and on that note the prices on steam are set by the developers/publishers.

Valve is the most used platform because it's basically the best, there's no monopoly here, there's many of other alternatives that people are freely able to use.

This is why I've been done with Kickstarter campaigns for a very long time.

Sadly alot of devs either cancel their Linux ports or put out shoddy ones that are missing features or never updated.

There's been many examples of that with Kickstarter or without.

The original steam Linux runtime is very old but they have a new one called soldier and sniper that is on much more modern base. It's an opt in thing where you ask valve to use it, there's been a few games that did so and valve uses it for dota 2 and cs2 I velieve

I haven't really had this issue mainly because I don't buy games that require an online connection or a non-steam account. Most of the games I buy have no drm, so I could always still use them if something happened to steam.
