Quoting: slapinI understand people behind sanctions but things do not work this way here. People will just consolidate and finally China will benefit from everything. That is because everyone here is in special kind of information bubble in which Putin is right and nation hero. So to avoid same thing happenning again there should be something which makes people see what is really going on. Thinking people already protesting but that is in vain because they have zero support.

If most of the world stopping trade with Russia and providing support to Ukraine, companies pulling out of the country, Putin preventing Russians from leaving the country, etc. doesn’t make them realize that something is wrong with their country, I don’t know what will. All the sanctions play into that. We are pushing the Russian population on the brink so that they take things into their own hands, because a direct military intervention by other countries could trigger a nuclear war that would be way more catastrophic than anything Putin could do to Ukraine, if you look at the bigger picture.

Things are absolutely going to suck for the individual Russian, and we well know that they are not to blame for this, but this is something that they have to fix. We’re buying them time, but we can’t do much more. I certainly hope that the world will be there to help them rebuild their economy and democracy when the conflict has ended. They are victims too, though of a different kind.

Quoting: pseudexI'm pretty sure if there is a deck V2 it will be backward compatible with the first one.
Surprisingly they sold more top tier decks then they thought. So far valve still earns my trust in buying the most expensive one. Unbelievable how open they are with it and the partnership with ifixit is unbelievable good news.
That's what I would call a sustainable product!

Compatible with what exactly? As Liam pointed out, the software itself is already independent from the hardware and runs on virtually any PC.

Commonly known as the Osborne effect. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osborne_effect [External Link]

I think you quoted the wrong post.

Quoting: MrowlThis is basically Steam Deck's secret killer app launch title, much like how BotW was to Switch.

I don't know how accurate this is considering PC players can play it a while before the first consumer Steam Decks find their new homes, but it's certainly great that it can run on day 1.

Quoting: Purple Library GuyI keep seeing the first "Game Feature" as

• A Vast World Full of Excrement

Ah, so it's not just me :tongue:

Feel free to let me know in the comments what other types of Steam Deck content you want to see!

Besides everything that was already covered here, I'm very curious about the desktop software experience (common stuff like Firefox, Thunderbird, Discord, LibreOffice, any music library...) with regards to usability with the on-screen keyboard and/or an external setup (monitor + inputs) and battery life and responsiveness with multiple of this kind of software running concurrently.

I'm not considering the Deck as a desktop replacement, but maybe as a laptop replacement.

Regarding Ultimate Chicken Horse specifically:

1. Do we intend to tweak it to make it compatible and resubmit it? Yes! We're looking into it. While Game 2 development is our top priority, we're looking into full Steam Deck verification stuff and hope to address these issues in our next patch bundle.

2. What are the issues that caused it to fail?
a. Hotplugging seems to disable the internal gamepad.
b. Mouse and keyboard glyphs and input are visible even when the gamepad is not connected to mouse + keyboard.
c. There is no on-screen keyboard for the in-game chat system.

So while the game works and runs for most users and most situations, it's not the optimal experience at this time.

PSA: You can hover a game and click the "Steam Deck Compatibility" button to see loosely why it has the current status.

Oooh thanks for the heads up on the free-to-play period, I’ve been intrigued by this game but really need to give it a test run before I decide if it’s for me.

Seeing Horizon: Zero Dawn on that list is so... I lack the word. A graphically demanding PlayStation exclusive advertised with full compatibility on a Linux handheld. Absolutely amazing. The fact that I can just barely run it on mid-to-low settings on my main PC is a little depressing by comparison :tongue:. I hope I get to see actual footage of it being played on the Deck, but this kind of game endorsement is helping tip the balance in favour of buying one.

A quick note from the reservations page for the people comparing availability times and how long it took them to order:

the reservation queue and expected order availability times are specific to each region.

As for me, I’m kind of hoping my slot comes up later than sooner. Still on the fence about how much I want one and would love to see more videos of people using it for things other than gaming to help make up my mind about that price tag.
