Had to double check... thought of Last Outpost for a second.

Yeah, it was a mistake and it was only referring to the Sims 4 DLC.

Apparently you don't need the EA App nonsense at all.

Yeah, they never should have done this nonsense and kept it the way it was before.

FINAL FANTASY VII REBIRTH gets Steam Deck Verified ahead of release

@chickenb00 where do you see the 43% ...? I only see 30, same as steam.
Almost sure it depends on your status. When you buy stuff on gmg you get points to increase your savings.

Like on Humble - if you are using the subscription thingy, you get 20% off the whole time. I got the new FF7 there with 41%.

Bazzite the popular SteamOS-like Linux gets expanded NVIDIA support in Beta
9 Jan 2025 at 12:39 pm UTC Likes: 1

Griffais and Yang talked a tiny bit about Bazzite by the way.

Speaking of Bazzite, Valve seems to be flattered! “We have nothing against it,” says Yang. “It’s a great community project that delivers a lot of value to people that want a similar experience on devices right now,” says Griffais, adding later “In a lot of ways Bazzite is a good way to kind of get the latest and greatest of what we’ve been working on, and test it.”

But he says Bazzite isn’t yet in a state where a hardware manufacturer could preload it on a handheld, nor would Valve allow that. While users can freely download and install the SteamOS image onto their own devices, companies aren’t allowed to sell it or modify it, and must partner with Valve first.

Not really confirming while also confirming something like a new Steam Machine.

You mean Steam Deck Recovery Image can be used to install vanilla SteamOS on a regular PC? I think I tried that once, and it didn't boot, so I just assumed that the system is heavily tailored for the Deck's hardware.
As long as you're using AMD hardware it should be fine.

LTT did that a few days ago.

The 11 inch one looks ridiculous. How are you supposed to comfortably hold that?!
