This version seems to be heading in the right direction. I'm still looking forward as well for wayland, and for the new release of LMDE. I'm hesitating between xubuntu 24.04 or 25.10 for the perf along with cachyos, and mint 22.2 or LMDE 7 later for use and feel.

Exactly. And they are the ones who know for a fact that, in twenty years' time, nostalgia will kick in (if it even takes that long), and peopleconsumers will be ready for the second round. And who is to say there can be only one remaster/-vival/-imagined/-make cashgrab.

Especially while in the meantime the community has already done all the work big money head from publisher dare to call remaster.
Almost every old game I own had community patch to allow modern resolutions, improved audio/controls, bug fix... Sometime even community open source recreated engines fixing all the issues at once.

Definitly a good news, never understood people advocating against their own rights, same for DRM such as denuvo. You see people on forum argumenting for it... Like they enjoy being treated as thieves on top of paying with their credit card. Meanwhile you see indie or CDprojekt making their game drm free, and the sales speaks for themselves...

It's pretty good to have that tool into the steamdeck arsenal. Many AAA title are demanding hardware speaking. It's also more and more rare that it have good replay value, so it's definitly great option to play it with good quality settings on this device.

Steamdeck is already able to do so many things just like a pc with a well thought console interface and versatility. (Emulation of your old consoles, small linux tools accessible, convertible into a small pc you can plug on tv for movies or office work...).

I'm not into streaming services especially with with slow internet, but I'd say the more the better.

I guess this way of playing is also good for battery life.

I perfectly remember one of the possible ending sentence of Monkey Island 1. Don't want to spoil, but Ron Gilbert was basically saying that even at that price they would still be making a lot of money. I trust the dev.

OFC there is inflation, but with those 20bucks back in the days, I would fill my car, buy some cigarettes, and probably even few beers to share with friends. With 90€ nowadays I'm not even sure I can fill my car anymore.

The problem is coming from people making money with video game while they don't know anything about it, and gets most of the subsidies while devs and players pay the price of their non ending greediness.

I'm almost certain outside of indie devs that 35% of the price is going to these sharks. They are the initiator of price increase because they want more from the cake to the point of ruining it in every possible manner, because then they lower the quality in every possible manner by willing to take more wherever they can, thus making life hard for the people who really loves videos game. (devs & gamers)

Never had to do it, but you could literaly phone Ron Gilbert if you had an issue with the game xD

Sad for the dev, and I wish him to be at peace whatever is happening to him. CoreCtrl is such a great tool. Exactly the kind of software that make me feel happy to use linux. Hopefully someone will get into it and continue the project in one form or another.

Quoting: mr_MADAFAKADenuvo removed? Performance improvements? How convenient.

xD

"Fix for various, intermittent crashes."
"Fixes for several sources of framerate hitching for smoother gameplay."
