Not surprising that it doesn't work on Steam Deck, consider that even on PS5 Pro (the Pro, not the regular PS5!) it can't keep up with 60fps and dips down to 40fps in many cases!! Who told those developers that barely visible extra graphical details are more important than the wildly visible fps dips?

Probably a Product Manager xD

African includes all of the above, regardless of level of distinctiveness - I'd consider that obvious, to be honest. Or do you seriously want people to go into detail with every single statement? That would be... impractical.

If you wanted that, you can also forget about German, Spanish, French, most certainly European, .... because all of those are split into smaller and very distinct ones as well (just ask Catalans how Spanish they feel at times).
Once you start thinking about stuff like "what precise level of distinctiveness is acceptable in this generalization", you might as well not write anything at all <- getting back to the "walking on eggshells" thing.

Yes, of course, the level of distinctiveness needs to be practical, but also coherent. Roughly, in this topic, we're discussing the ability to treating equally to everyone, so common sense would dictate that when giving an example, like the Ukrainian and African devs before, they ideally should be of equal measure, so our words send the correct message.

Mainly, because we tend to fall short towards the same place. I don't normally see people giving examples and saying; Angolan devs and European devs.

I don't think we can equate the independent Catalan movement, or any other movement in Europe that tries to separate a region from its main state, with the systemic paternalistic, and generalization discourse of Africa, though.

P.S: I'm from Spain, and very close to the independent movements of the different territories in the Spanish state.

Wonder if we'll get any stupid "WhY dOeS iT hAvE tO bE pEoPlE oF cOlOr?" comments, trying to argue false equality "merit" bullshit like the other day. 🙄

Also, if I was of color...

Genuine question from a non-native English speaker. I thought using the term "of colour" was now considered untasteful/not-correct because everyone has a colour?

Now, cultures on the other hand, I get.
African devs, Ukrainian devs, etc.

I guess your "Meaning well and doing well are not the same thing" comes true on your above comment. Putting together "African devs" as one culture seems rather... unfortunate. I'm sure there's no need for me to explain, but I'll give some examples anyway; Algeria, Ethiopia, Madagascar, Equatorial Guinea or South Africa are all countries in Africa with VERY distinct cultures.

I would really like to say what I think about Video Games Europe and policy makers, but I don't want to get myself in trouble.

I got Gris, Journey, A Short Hike and Shadow Gambit.

The dev that posted the inquiry is right, this needs to change at some point or another, and doing it ahead of time to give people time to fix issues, etc is better than running like a headless chicken and do a crappy workaround in 2 weeks.

Keeper, Clockwork Revolution, Aphelion and The Expanse: Osiris Reborn really got my eye during the "conference" yesterday.

I wonder if Valve will consider releasing a revision of the Deck a bit sooner than they originally thought (perhaps next year?) seeing that there are more high-end devices out now.
