Quoting: ShabbyXPretty sure in the last minute it'll get pulled. Just after a reminder from microsoft that they'll ruin them if they don't.
While Microsoft very well might make such a threat, I doubt Lenovo would cave to them. Microsoft is an American company with lots of ties to the American government and military, and Lenovo is Chinese company with similar ties to the Chinese government, which is about to be on the receiving of new trade war tactics. They might very well be looking for a chance to stick it to Microsoft. By comparison, Valve is American but relatively neutral.

It's funny that people are assuming it's big. There's no scale, so we really won't know until we can compare it to something.The main thing I missed with the previous steam controller was the D-pad, so I'm happy this thing has one. The D-pad simulation with the right trackpad just didn't do it for me.

It was such a pain getting Marvel Midnight Suns to launch when it first came out, so this is so needed. Aside from that launcher, it was my 2022 game of the year.

Oh snap! I need to finish the first one before the new one comes out. I got stuck on a puzzle and forgot about it. And yes, I'm a master procrastinator. Oh well, I've still got time. :grin:

I'm surprised these don't come with RGB strips.

Valve fixes up Steam Input bug with ROG Ally X

It's crazy how many Windows gamers I've seen who are waiting on SteamOS for other devices to drop. I wonder how many of them will actually stick with Linux once it does.

Quoting: ZlopezI'm not a fan of having another account when I already have the Steam account, PSN account should be optional in this case. Especially if this is single-player only game.
Who is a fan of it? There's no way Sony believes anyone actually wants this, especially the 121 countries they've locked out.

Quoting: EhvisPaying 20 euro to beta test a game for 5 days. I'm laughing, but it's really sad that this actually works.
It's for the whales: people who have money to burn. It's not for people like us who would even consider saving money for more important things.
It'd be nice if this was the case. But considering the numbers, I'm afraid it's FOMO-ing minors more than it's taking a tip from rich people.
Possibly, but minors don't have jobs. So, they would still need parents who can afford to pay.Kids who can't afford stuff pirate.

Proton Experimental adds DLSS 3 Frame Generation support, plus fixes for Dragon Age: The Veilguard, Rivals of Aether II and more

Quoting: Jarmerdamnation - I saw the headline and was hoping for a fix for the hair strands in DA Veilguard, but nope, instead it's a popup warning fix, lol. Oh well.
It is fixed in the latest vkd3d-proton. I compiled it and added it manually, but I think it might be in the latest Proton-GE now. It's worth testing.
