It's gonna be the support that makes or breaks this product (along with a price tag that is too high). With the Steam Deck, you might not be able to run all your games but you know the majority will, and you know Valve will be supporting it for years to come.

I imagine this will have support from ASUS for 2 years, if lucky?

Personally, for me, if I am shelling out a few hundred (or a grand+) I want a shelf life of at least 4-6 years.

Picked up a 6800 a couple years back, will be keeping with it, who knows maybe I can warrant a new GPU when the 8000 series comes along.

I wish they had stuck it in the 200-250 bracket on price.

Does anyone know when these cards will be released in the EU, specifically the UK?

Vermintide 2 works now, thought they couldn't get the EAC working correctly?

Remember that the Steam Deck is likely to be a user's auxiliary gaming machine, the percentage shown is not an actual representation of the number of Steam Deck users. It's likely to be the case that was the percentage of users using a Steam Deck when the survey was initiated.

Quoting: Liam Dawe

Quoting: kit89DRAG is also on sale with 75% off and has native Linux support.

While I adored that one when I played it, since the sale they've not really announced much of anything and it's a little worrying right now.

I can definitely appreciate that position, for me I couldn't warrant the purchase at full-price, but for a £5 I am happy to give it a spin.

I tried out Heroic Launcher the last time you brought it up and I've got to say: it's great.

Over the weekend I picked up Soldier of Fortune 1 and 2 (nostalgia), and was impressed by how easy it was download and run with very little in the way of hurdles.

Superb application.

To be fair to Digital Foundry and co they are used to playing in the console and Windows PC sandbox, and they are very much fish out-of-water in terms of Linux.

Give it time and they will become technically astute Linux users too.
