Wolfire versus Valve antitrust lawsuit gets dismissed

I don't think there is anything wrong with taking 30%. They don't have a monopoly, so they can set the prices and if you don't like them you can still use gog, itch or your own launcher. Ubisoft, League of Legends, Overwatch, Fortnite,... seem all to do fine without steam.
Also, as a Linux user, I don't buy games that do not run on my system. Windows only games that run through proton are therefore sales that wouldn't have happened without Valve's work. Keeping 70% vs. no sale at all sounds like a good deal to me.

Multiplayer was already patched in when I checked the small update after the multiplayer update. (Native not proton)
I didn't find any matches so probably not cross-plattform?!

Even more helpful is that Lutris games can be launched from Steam
Not having to jump between multiple launchers will be extra helpful on the Steam Deck!

Quoting: jrtSo tldr is that a Valve co-sponsored VR project has a better keyboard than SteamVR?
This isn't actually about SteamVR. xrdesktop is its own thing but you can use it to layer windows from your desktop on top of a SteamVR game, as an example. So for a livestreamer, they could use it to show Twitch chat and use the new keyboard implementation to interact with that layered window without touching a normal keyboard.
I know. But the SteamVR keyboard is so unreliable that it's likely it has a far better user experience.

Intel ARC vs. Intel ARK. There will be no confusion at all!

Almost as good as their coming cpu naming scheme: 10nm -> Intel 7 -> Intel 4 -> Intel 3 -> Intel 20A (lower is better until higher is better again).
Not as bad as Nvidia with "Shield". I think they had 3 products named that and changed the name of the product to something else when they needed the name for a new Product.
"Nvidia Shield" -> "Nvidia Shield Portable"
"Nvidia Shield" -> "Nvidia Shield Tablet K1"
"Nvidia Shield" -> "Nvidia Shield Android TV"

Or the "Titan X" GPU. Where they had a second "Titan X" on a new architecture (pascal). So the community called it "Titan Xp" to differentiate, just for Nvidia to launch a new "Titan XP".

Performance improvements are great. Animal Crossing on the Steam Deck will be awesome!
Seems the Valve Steam Deck has been impressing people with some hands-on time

I was very positively surprised by the LTT video. He didn't mention "installing Windows" or the current anticheat situation.
I think it's great that we are at a point where people can be hyped about a Desktop Linux device without a constant "but it would be better with windows".
