Quoting: Craggles086Also it is encouraging to see Microsoft support for SteamDeck might not just be some passing Fad but they look like providing ongoing support.

This hopefully means performance tuning for SteamDeck / Linux in the future and maybe even a native version? :)
They said publicly that they won't tell their studious what to do. If they want to support the Deck/Linux, they are free to do so.

Quoting: Comandante ÑoñardoAnd what about the release of SteamOS 3 for desktop pc's?
They are working on it, but it's clearly not the highest priority.

Overall, it's been a fantastic month for the Steam Deck and Linux Gaming as a whole thanks to it and all of Valve's effort in making it a success. They're doing a huge amount right.
They're doing a lot wrong too.
For example?
Verifying games that are broken (games with EAC), or don't actually meet Valve's criteria, for example. Something Liam (and Ethan Lee) have pointed out repeatedly.
That's ONE issue, that they addressed and are working on. You said they are doing A LOT wrong, too. What are those many things?

What is "April fools"?

Quoting: STiATAnd Valve reportedly stopped payouts to Ukraine developers.

That really put them on my bad side now. I hope they remedy that soon, I'd dislike to have to stop using Steam.
Which has nothing to do with this topic. You already said that in the relevant news.

And Valve is there to offer the infrastructure for all those games you got for free. Shame on you STiAT.

Quoting: Anza
Quoting: TuxeeSo we have a bundle dedicated to charity and the "discussion" starts with bashing Humble Bundle and people feeling compelled to tell, why they are not donating.
Interesting.
There are other ways to donate, so being critical about Humble Bundle doesn't mean not donating at all. itch.io ended their bundle yesterday, but as always, charities accept also direct donations if you actually want to donate instead of essentially buying games (Humble Bundle being the party that is actually donating).
This is being critical for the sake of being critical and it's pretty damn sad.
