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

Hmmm, I wonder how many of those cheaters just instantly made a new account and started again. You can get to the top pretty fast when cheating after-all.

Is Zink doing performance fixing on a per Game basis? if so it may take them a few hundred years to catch up. lol

Gamescope (used on Steam Deck) adds in some VR support

Only some games will be capable of running VR on steam deck, stuff like superhot perhaps?

Quoting: itscalledrealityValve to stop forcing us to use their Steam launcher.
