Quoting: wleoncioAccidental? How so? Did they later say it was not coming to SteamOS?

Valve Have Another New Design For The Steam Controller
23 Jul 2014 at 6:55 pm UTC

Quoting: stssI prefer a D-Pad over joystick if the game was designed for it. But a joystick is good too and I think is a better choice overall because it allows more functionality for different types of games
I think that's the kicker here. They are going for compatibility while still having their brand new touchpad style as the main focus. A stick serves the purpose as both a D-PAD & as a directional stick if you want/need it.

Get Your Dancing Shoes On, Crypt Of The Necrodancer Comes To Linux Soon

The problem is if you start sugar coating a game like this, then the difficulty ramping up takes too long and the game gets unnecessarily drawn out.

For Necrodancer it's quite hard to begin with anyway, so it feels about right. That said I haven't played the second zone enough yet to really feel its pain.

Epic Games Helps Blender By Becoming A Sponsor

The difference with Epic over Unity to name one example is this: How long did it take Unity to fix Linux mouse issues? Too long.

Epic has code access with subscriptions, so people can jump in and fix it themselves.

That already makes them win.
