I'd say... just wait and see what happens. There might be a bigger shift than they expect and then change their stance.

I'm just a bit disppointed that people give Norm from Tested shit, because he dared to call Proton an Emulator. My god... as it that matters. He asked good questions, gave constructive criticism and was even the only one who showed the new OS menu.

Quoting: ValsoInstead of remastering it, they should have made more stories. Remastering the game won't make it more interesting.

Did you even read the article? They aren't remastering the game. A fan is doing that.

I did, ofc. It doesn't say anywhere that a fan is doing it. In fact, this line "Tyler McVicker, known for doing the Valve News Network" suggests it's Valve doing the remaster.

No, it doesn't? Wtf are you talking about?

Quoting: kuhpunktIsn't the Steam Deck also just a Steam Machine? It's a PC with SteamOS preinstalled.

Yes, but actually no.
Steam Machines all had Intel IGP graphics. They simply were not suitable for gaming, from a hardware perspective.

No, they didn't? There were plenty of different configurations.

Quoting: rustybroomhandleI'm not even saying Rosen is lying - he may well have had contact with a particularly crappy Valve rep who had their own fascist interpretation of the rules. I just can't see Valve doing this as official policy in any way.

Chet Faliszek (no longer at Valve, but still...) already said that such a clause simply does not exist. Rosen also didn't do himself any favors when he just made the claim without any evidence.

If such a clause in the contract, he could have brought it up in the lawsuit. He didn't.

If he was told by a Valve employee that he couldn't sell his games elsewhere for less - why didn't he release those interactions?

Weeeeeell, that's only sort of correct. There's no such clause in the contract, but it is mentioned in the developer guidelines document. The latter is not a binding legal agreement though, but can be the subject of coercion and therefore can be part of the law suit.

Where is this?

When you get Steam Partnered (as I am) you have to agree to a contract, but on the partner web site there are pages with some guidelines.

And does it say ANYWHERE that you can't sell your games for less money (NOT Steam keys)?

The mentioned text only applies to Steam keys.

And this isn't about Steam keys. It's about whether Rosen could sell his games on other stores for less money. He claims that he's not allowed to do that. He fails to provide evidence for that claim.
