Quoting: IrisNebulaFolks, if you are dissing on itch, you're overreacting. This is certainly bad PR for Netflix/Night School Studio since they had no reason to do this, but itch isn't breaching any trust nor contract. You bought your game, you got your game. It has given you a DRM-Free installer that you can use whenever you want, as many times as you want. Even if new downloads are pulled, this shouldn't affect anyone much. Imagine going to a store and demanding a new copy of your game because you lost the game CD you bought there last year and being angry they won't service you. Infinite downloads for DRM-Free stuff is a courtesy and honestly they aren't even always provided by some software shops.

If it was on a platform like Steam, that by design makes you re-download to re-install which would mean you'd be locked out of new installations, then yeah, that would have been a big deal, but that's another beast entirely.
Don't make excuses for shitty stuff happening.

You buy stuff digitally with the understanding that you get to keep your games.

Your comparison with a retail games is unfair, because you bought that with the understanding that you bought one copy.

Why not? They can work on multiple games at the same time. Remember the Orange Box?
There were rumors that Valve was working on a new game. Everybody was hoping it was Half-Life 3, but apparently it was this instead.
You completely ignored what I said, lol.

Liam,

could you reach out to Ethan to ask him about his thoughts? He was kinda sceptical/crtical of Proton and his future as a programmer back then.

Has this changed? What are his thoughts now?

Steam Deck LCD 64GB
This is the one I have, just dropped that SD card inside and it works like a charm. I played like tens if not over a hundred of different games on it already!
I understood that there is small hdd/ssd inside...
So, you can also put a uSD card next to that and combine both drives as Steam storage? Or how does this work, actually?
There's a micro sd card slot at the bottom of the Steam Deck. Just plug in a card, format it (Steam does that for you in the settings menu) and when you want to install a game, just select the sd card as the install location. Couldn't be any easier.
