Would you rather their entire stock gets bought up by bots to be scalped?

You can still buy your kids a digital steam gift card like you’ve always been able to for years. https://steamcommunity.com/games/593110/announcements/detail/669497052089025105

They’ve since improved their gifting stuff you can give people things without needing to know their account name or anything so it’s kind of whatever. So much scammed money goes through gift cards so I get it

Well the new one is great at least and has all of those things

It was also much less appealing with the touchpads replacing a thumbstick and dpad, instead of being in addition to them.

Not too surprising, subtract around $400 and that’s what the price probably would have been without ram prices exploding.

The controller was just an example but whether it’s part of steamos or built into the linux kernel isn’t really relevant as what I was trying to say is that valve has a vested interest in making sure it’s there and maintained, as opposed to your typical windows gaming pc and peripherals which do not have that guarantee as they are sold with an expectation that the users will be running windows.

I would assume they will for things like the built in steam controller antenna and whatever other custom parts they have but I was more saying that all the drivers for their hardware (and to a lesser degree the other hardware they’re supporting like the rog ally) should be included and maintained as part of steamos.

The steam machine is also guaranteed to have official driver support for everything on the board which is definitely not the case if you install steamos on any given gaming pc

It’s roughly two-thirds of a 6750xt or half of a 3080 so yeah definitely not

Well it’s irrelevant until they announce the thing anyways

I hope they didn’t remove the dpad and a joystick that’d be a dealbreaker for me

I don’t think game streaming is ever going to take off the way they want it to, especially when things like the switch exist. Internet is just too crappy in too many places for it to ever be a better experience than a console, or in many cases a phone.

SteamOS has been able to update the bios on the Steam Deck forever, I’m assuming since launch. The new patch is just for updating the bios when SteamOS is installed on other devices like the ROG Ally

I mean I’d assume they’re just talking about when installed on the handhelds Asus already have

Small form factor

It looks like these are two separate graphics spliced together, everything on the right seems to be to scale (or reasonably close to it)

Direct steam link instead of that awful site covered in ads

I mean steam already provides information on controller support, and will tell you if a game supports the controller you currently have plugged in. Afaik they don’t even sell steam controllers anymore.
