How do you know the machine has been scalped? You could gift it to someone and never use your own account on it

It was limited to two per purchase, but I could still add (and maybe buy) more after I bought my 2

FYI someone managed to make another dongle based on the same chip work by flashing the original dongle firmware on it. I'll try and find the article later

Except I saw predictions of 80+ already before the ram crisis.

They sold the original controller at an affordable price, why not do the same now? They make hella margin on the steam store so no need to fleece customers for the peripherals

Essentially the same as the original controller with just an extra joystick.

The Deck has all that + screen+computer+speakers for as low as 400. The controller part is not 1/4 of the cost there.

Plus the components are essentially the same as for the deck, so less cost for the RnD and the manufacturing.

If it's priced higher than ~60 it better work perfectly with the system/games, unlike the Deck which has many issues with multiple controllers.

I'll gladly spend around200 buck for a 4 pack if that means I can reliably play couch games with my friends, but imagine having to spend more than what a used Deck costs for 4 controllers 💀

Why is everyone guessing high prices?

Why couldn't they make it affordable at around 50 bucks?

Oh nice! I was thinking this will improve my Linux gaming even more, but it's already used :)

The context is explicitly a game where the engine supports saving at any time exists and it is not available for the user.

I am well aware of the difficulty of implementing such features so respect is given where it's due.

If the game has no manual save but random auto saves like the op's first example, then all your points are moot as the game still needs to have the save feature working properly. It just doesn't respect the user enough to let them save on their own terms

Didn't test the latest patch, but previously I was able to run it 1080p lowest settings. Played fine but didn't look great obviously.

Didn't try handheld mode, so maybe it looks fine on the deck screen

Considering the amount of maps and models added over the years, I don't really find that enormous

Try having millions of concurrent users all trying to update at the same time.

A single dota 2 update could use around 2-3% of the **global** internet bandwidth.

I use mine to run VJ software and do light shows at music events.

Since the deck is a powerful computer, and the form factor is quite compact, I find it better than laptops for the task.

Seems like valve read this post :D

I think it's related to the monitor I was plugging on HDMI. With a different screen it works better.

But I still have sometimes the displayport screen not turn on after sleep, and the deck crashing when unplug/replugging it :(

I wasn't clear in my post, but I have a monitor plugged via HDMI too, and that's the one having trouble either turning on, or being stuck in 480p.

I will try with a different monitor or cable.

With only the displayport monitor it works well

It's false if I remember correctly. Steam prohibits you from selling steam keys outside the store for less than the price on steam. They don't forbid you from selling cheaper elsewhere
