Very true I would have liked to be cheaper but I have two 8bitdo controllers already the ultimate 2 and the pro 3 but I was missing the touch pads and active thumbsticks when the steam deck was docked. Didn't really have a choice.

Its more a regular controller plus extra vs the old one was a good but you had to tweek your brain to make it work as the touch pads were a replacement for normal controls. Where as the touch pads are there own thing. Being able to create popup menus that only show up on touch and the gyro being enabled and disabled by touching the thumbsticks is a game changer. Its everything you love about the steam deck without the neck pain of looking down at the screen.

I loved mine but the 2026 steam controller is superior In every way.

Yeah because public companies are just investment scams now. The product they make is not their primary revenue. Once CEOs figured out you can just say shit on social media and juice the stock. Its market manipulation all the way down. At least with private companies its still about making a product or service and serving your customers and no private equity doesn't count that is a different scam. Where you offload debit.

Yeah I agree but that maybe more to the publishers not allowing that that to me would be achieved through regulation just like with the refunds. First sale was not something publishers wanted just a feature of having physical media. Also there is a myth that all steam games are DRMed. There are may games that run without steam being open but that is up to the publisher. Stuff like family sharing they added is them bring value to customers while walking a fine line with the publishers.

Because Valve is one of the few tech companies that still wants to have fun and be silly like tech used to be. Before we entered the hell scape tech feudalism era.

Since its just the US only I think Tariffs might be to blame. Valve might be just waiting for another swing in the whims of the administration then bring another batch in. Valve can do that as they don't have to worry about stock price tanking.

Axiom verge and ori bundles are great

Yep but the common person doesnt want to install anything they juat want to buy sonething and plug it in. Thats why desktop linux wont happen untill they can go into a store and buy it on hardware and stream machine is the closest we have in this day and age for that to happen.

The weird part is I think a lot of the disappointment comes from a lot of people with even high-end gaming systems wanted this to be the thing that replaces it just because they hate windows so much and because it wasn't as powerful they couldn't just buy this box and it would just do it

Thats what valve was talking about games optimizing for the reference platform this is great to hear

The licence is not FOSS its its creative commons no derivatives meaning no forks its a source available licence

How is this different than heroic's add to steam option in terms of integration?

Robocop Rogue City , Terminal/Esc, and Castle of Illusion

Clair Obscur runs great with a few tweaks but burns through battery like it was running water unfortunately

While I was agree the problem is like the recycling paradox the industry told you to recycle. While they did nothing so you would blame your neighbor instead of them. That's why most recycling is ether landfill anyway or shipped to a poor country. Nothing in recycling is standard and no body that has power cares.

The point was to blame yourself or your neighbors but not them cause look they created a recycling program. You must have just not sorted your paper and plastic enough. You could reduced every carbon including breathing your whole life and not offset 10 mins of carbon output of any of the fortune 100.

Everyone should do what they can but I think it should be prepositional to the amount your choices add carbon or plastic to the environment.

So with that said people with homeless and food on their mind don't be a dick and litter but the rest you get a pass.

This just in! Reality does not match the online content farms and why worry about the climate when there is nothing you can do about it. If you don't have enough power to eat and slip with a roof over your head.

Ah I just thought you needed it for an idle game you want more of a turbo button. If it's a Logitech mouse does solaar or piper not work for you? I have macros setup in my G502.

Correct but since he is using a mouse I figured he was using as a desktop
