Quoting: LachuI prefer to add library on SD card to both Deck and laptop. It was way simpler.
That should not matter in this case:

Quoting: Thomas "GloriousEggroll" CriderThis causes the default path for prefix compatdata and shadercache to change to the default steam install location ~/.steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata (or shadercache).
That's new to me, too tbh, but still a nice addition if you have a game where (parts of) the mods reside outside the game folder. :heart:

It's a shame and an EAsshole move.

Wow, just for this exemplary "maintenance" this deserves a buy - being a cult game is a bonus of course xD

It's a real shame that most legal systems favor big money over fairness and justice...

I hope Nintendo will choke on the money...

All older games being sold in Germany on Steam now require a content rating

It's long overdue that steam implemented some age verification instead of just blocking games in germany. It#s not like that is much of a hazzle with eID nowadays...
