Quoting: rustybroomhandleWow, the comments on that announcement seem to be 90% Russians yelling about nazis and calling CDPR "traitors" and stuff.
It's saddening what propaganda can do to people. :cry:
Whose propaganda? Western?))

It will be difficult for Poles to return to the Russian market. Formally, they will return, but they have lost their respect and fans completely. :whistle:

How many stupid bugs.. In fact, Deck owners are now alpha testers for their own money. :sick: Was it really impossible to release a new BP into beta?

Quoting: JahimselfIsolating citizens for isolating their chief, not only will not work, but can be counter productive for the general opinion in Russia.
This is exactly how it is happening now.:wink:

Quoting: bonapartePressure must be applied via every available avenue to wake up the Russian people to resist.
You are the smartest person, as I see, since you are calling people to civil war and extremism.. :shock:

Quoting: bonaparteFar worse is coming in the next few months as the Russian economy collapses if they don't overthow Putin _now_ (mass unemployment, food shortages, much increased violent repression of any dissent).
I'll tell you a terrible secret (just don't tell anyone) -
Spoiler, click me
when the government is overthrown, the economy will fall into dust even more.

It is very disappointing to see that your favorite companies shamelessly wipe their feet about ordinary players. Although we in Russia are very fond of their games, we have always supported them and someone even forgave them for the broken Cyberpunk. People will remember this act.

And it is a pity that xenophobia is flourishing on various sites. I would like to avoid this, of course.

P.S. Guys who think that in Russia they support the president and succumb to propaganda - you are wrong. Guys who think that this blatant harassment of Russians will help overthrow the government - you are also mistaken. The effect is the opposite (but not in the direction of supporting the president) - what, you can guess for yourself.

Kernel 5.13? Why is it so old? After all, they said that 5.15 had already been installed.

Don't expect GOG to support the Steam Deck

GOG Galaxy can run in Wine, although unsupported.
Why buy GOG games at all? You need to buy on Steam, from those people who really support your platform, and do not wipe their feet about you.

One reason that's likely GOG aren't working to expand their Linux support to Galaxy and Steam Deck, is that they aren't exactly doing well financially.
Interesting. And who prevented them from fully supporting Linux before, even with the old launcher? This had to be done in the heyday of ports from Feral and others, since 2016.

Why complain about finances now? Poles fully deserve their current position. GOG is no longer needed by anyone, even Linux users deposit more money on Steam.

No need to feel sorry for them. If GOG closes, then so it will be. CDPR deserved it, it's their own fault that they have been in this position for years of lying.

Epic Games CEO says a clear No to Fortnite on Steam Deck

Quoting: StalePopcornCan't Lutris be installed if you really want to run Fortnite? It's Arch.
It can be done. But Tim is afraid that users will use Steam Deck out of the box "as is", and will not want to bother with installing other stores or Windows.

This is clearly described in his response:
..but the market for non-Steam-hosted games on limited availability Steam Deck hardware is how big exactly?
And put Fortnite in Steam does not allow him to be proud.:grin:

..but the market for non-Steam-hosted games on limited availability Steam Deck hardware is how big exactly?
And so we approached the time of awareness when you realized that you had to start maintaining a new market it was necessary 5 years ago at least... :grin:

Now on Twitter from Tim, there will be a bunch of nipping that Valve has practically monopolists on Linux in the field of games. And this is not thanks to exclusives and other shitty moves, but thanks to long-term investments in a new market with all the risks. This is how the status quo breaks down.

Epic had chances to promote their Fortnite and store on Linux, but they refused themselves, so they go to hell.

The Poles with GOG had enough time to meet the audience, who most of all promoted the position of DRM-free. But for years they've been wiping their feet on us, so go to hell.

Humble.. Well, just go to hell.

As a result, on Linux we have only two time-tested stores that really care about the platform: Steam and itch.io :wink:

Quoting: jrtValve does not make money by trading items outside of the steam market.
Revaluation of cost and speculation you do not take into account, of course? :dizzy:

Ask yourself a simple question: can an item cost $ 100 on the Steam trading platform when it is resold for $ 1000 on another platform? :tongue: And then you will understand how Valve makes money on this.
