Quoting: chomwittI think it a proSteam mostly policy because steam can reliable monetize linux users.

That seems to be the case. On GOG, Sega would be the sole publisher and would have to make an effort for the Linux/mac builds and separating the income. It doesn't look like they are willing to do that. I don't even know if gog can clearly separate the sales by platform.

Both GSYNC and VR don't work. That's two critical bits of functionality that are enough on their own to skip Wayland for now.

When I updated earlier this week, I got a bug where the quick settings menu would appear fullscreen and the content aligned all the way to the left of the screen instead of staying on the right where it belongs. I hope this got fixed.

Quoting: Liam DaweHeroic will not rescue games like this that use client-side anti-cheat, unless the developer opts to support Linux / Proton / Steam Deck through Epic which is VERY unlikely since Epic has absolutely no support of Linux for the store.

That remains to be seen. If the back end has enabled proton support, then it is possible that moving the support files into the Epic install will make it work. Soon somebody will be able to make an Epic account and test it out.

Currently you cannot set it to just Playable titles.

I'm unsure why I would want to do that, though?

"Give me perfect" and "give me good (including perfect)" seem like the most interesting choices if you are looking for something to play on Deck...

I even have untested shown. That made me start playing The Coma, which is a perfect fit for the deck even though it is still untested.

Something is weird with those numbers. A virtual 120" screen doesn't mean anything without a distance. However, it also says 55 pixels per degree, which comes out at a horizontal FOV of 34.9 degrees, which would put it at about 4.2 meters away. Good as a big screen TV, but a regular monitor would cover a much larger part of your field of view, which for my work monitor is about 55 degrees. So more like a console/TV experience than a gaming PC/monitor experience. It also means that the retina comparison is even more blabla than it was before since it's basically only compares due to distance.

Without knowing the picture quality or viewing comfort, it seems like a big 400 euro risk.

Quoting: hardpenguinCool, add itchio and Humble next!

I'd rather have Amazon support since the Twitch App/Amazon Games App are a much bigger pain to deal with.

Also looking forward to theme away the greyscale library. That would be a big usability improvement.

I continue longing for more Half-Life in my life.

You could consider another attempt at streaming HL2ep2. :tongue:

It looks very good, but this bit worries me:

Interesting new puzzle mechanic based on melodies.

So far, I've had to resort to walkthroughs for every game that had note/melody based puzzles.

The new room is pretty good. Has some new ideas that they haven't used before and I hope that they keep expanding the room editor for a while so workshop rooms can do more interesting things.

The multiplayer part is still somewhat odd. Apart from the social aspect, the official rooms don't really benefit from having more people. There are some in the workshop that require cooperative play to solve though, but I haven't tried the multiplayer aspect yet.
