Quoting: elmapulinst that the game where you have to spend 500.000 millions in lootbox in order to maximize one single character, or spend 10.000 years grinding your character (if they dont relase any update patch in this meantime) ?

i will pass.
even if its not, i dont trust blizard to not screw it in an update.
You're thinking of Diablo Immortal, which is your typical exploitive "free to play" mobile game ("Do you guys not have phones?"). Diablo IV is a proper PC game. They're going to offer cosmetic items, but there's not going to be any "pay to win" nonsense.

Counter-Strike 2 is reportedly a real thing and coming soon

I miss the good ol' days when Valve used to make top tier single player games. :sad:

Valve doesn't need much to make a Steam Deck 2 a huge success

Valve has said they won't start thinking about Steam Deck 2 until they can offer a significant performance advantage over the Steam Deck, which I'm happy about. I would love to get several years out of the current iteration.

Valve tricks Dota 2 cheaters and then bans 40,000 of them

Quoting: BlackBloodRumOooh.. so that's why I'm banned now. It's a bit unfair in my opinion, but okay :tongue:
You think it's unfair you were banned for cheating?

Quoting: GuestDota is free so all 40 thousands cheaters came back the same day on new account.
Valve bans 40,000 cheaters.

Later that day in a marketing meeting: "Good news, everybody, we saw 40,000 new accounts go live in the past hour! Keep up the great work!"

What is a BFU?
Well, it is deregatory acronym for users. True meaning is Bloody Fucking User, but I was using it in a more simple sense as in... just regular Joe (Windows) user.
Also known as lusers. :tongue:

A new Civilization game is in development and XCOM designer leaves Firaxis

Civ 6 runs substantially better under Proton anyway, so a native port of the next Civ game really won't be missed.

The next release of 0 A.D. will have experimental Vulkan API support

This thing has been in development for, like, 50 years, and they still haven't nailed down performance?

Steam & Steam Deck Beta improves controller configurator plus Linux fixes (updated)

Quoting: GuestThis update has completely broken desktop mode for me, meaning I'll have to do another reimage of SteamOS to fix it.

It's getting ridiculous how many times updates break something on the Deck.

One day, Valve might actually hold back an update until all the bugs are ironed out.
To be fair, you did install a beta build. When you select the beta channel in Steam settings, it even warns you to expect bugs. If you don't want to risk an update breaking things, then stick with stable.
I'm actually on the Stable branch and hadn't updated since November.
It doesn't matter what branch we use,SteamOS is broken and buggy.
Surely that's an exaggeration. I've been using Steam for nearly two decades, and it is far from being "broken and buggy".
