Forget about power, I just want a Steam Deck Pocket. One that fits in my pocket.

Any recommendations in here? The tricky part of these massive bundles is I have no idea what to actually play.

I don't think there's anything unreasonable about requiring devs to disclose this information going forward. But I definitely see the concern about older titles vanishing if devs aren't paying attention to get their paperwork in order. The law in question should've been written to only apply to new titles released after the law goes into effect, but grandfather in legacy content.

Still waiting for someone to get SteamOS onto something that fits in my pocket. I bought a Miyoo Mini Plus on sale last year, just an impulse buy for how cheap it was, and I liked it so much I wish I'd bought a more expensive model with analog sticks. Meanwhile my Steam Deck is gathering dust because it's just too bulky.

Quoting: Vortex_AcheronticMy personal observation is that around 90% of native Linux games can not compete with their Windows counter part and the user is probably best advised to run the Windows version.
I don't doubt that you can name a handful of examples, but I don't know how you got from that handful to 90%.

My personal observation is that everything in my library works just fine.

Quoting: Vortex_AcheronticPlus most native Linux games have a garbage performance or greatly reduced visuals to keep some level of performance.
I don't know what you're talking about, this certainly doesn't sound like anything in my library.

I know not to get my hopes up that this could lead to native ports, but hold on, you're telling me this thing can't even run native titles anyway? Why the hell not?

CrossCode is the best RPG I've ever played, and that's a damn high bar. Super excited for this.

Any word on a native build? I saw that it's in Love2D so it should be easily portable.

Humble Games confirmed a 'restructuring of operations' with reports of all staff gone

Remember when Humble used to directly ports tons of great games to Linux themselves? How the mighty have fallen.
