“…Valve added a special Tux item into Team Fortress 2 only on Linux…”

That’s all you need? Linux exclusive items in your games?

Bigger market share! Bigger market share!

No touchpad? They still haven’t learned anything.

Friends don’t let friends buy ASUS unless the purchasing friend enjoys months of customer support or RMA nightmare.

newthrowaway20, to games in ASUS reveal the ROG Ally X with more RAM, more storage, larger battery

Oh a 2-year warranty? Not sure how useful that warranty will be if they continue to deny every warranty claim.

What? Clearly a tiny ding is enough to ruin your experience.

absolutely ruined my day. every time I grab my Asus Rog and see that nanometer dent, I fall into deep depression

Eheran,

What, there is nothing wrong with your device… but I do not want to give you anything under warranty… Let me just put a scratch there real quick while you come back from showing me where the breakers are. feel free to watch it here in an it’s glory

Oh, you don’t want to pay for the nonsense we made up? Guess we’ll just ship it back to you in pieces, good luck with that.

Davel23,

Yeah, the length of the warranty is not the issue.

Even besides the corporate issues, I just can’t help but not like this handheld.

It looks like a cheaply built gamer device, and it feels like a cheaply built gamer device in the hand too. Between them and MSI, it’s almost as if they’ve put literally no effort into engineering anything, and just threw together a whatever they could, on the basis of a generic shell.

Not to mention that having ArmoryCrate is literally a downside in every way, and having 2 years of warranty NOW, after they showed up on FTCs radar, is laughable

Defaced,

Because it IS a cheaply built gamer device in a generic OEM shell. Pretty sure Microsoft has gotten enough flak for handheld Windows that they’re starting to build gamescope type optimizations like directSR. It’s not enough for me to switch back but maybe it is for others, who knows, hopefully Microsoft can stop riding the AI hype train to eventually build something to make armorycrate obsolete.

Yeah, there is a reason everyone talks about the Steam Deck, it’s an actually good device that Valve put a bunch of effort into making soild. There is also the problem that many of these other handhelds, like this ASUS one, are running an OS full of background processes constantly sapping your battery. Again, Valve put a bunch of effort into making the Steam Deck good and it shows.

This is why I haven’t bought Ghosts of Tsushima yet, despite being interested in it.

inclementimmigrant,

Same.

Also why I Ieft my Helldivers 2 review as a negative since I saw this coming a mile away.

Veraxus,

At least you can skip it in GoT unless you want to play the co-op missions. Not that’s even acceptable in that case.

technomad, to pcgaming in God of War Ragnarok and Until Dawn coming to Steam, requires PlayStation Network Account

No.

Fiivemacs,

Ditto…

Any game that now requires a second login will be instantly refunded from now on.

Zahille7,

I kind of get it for some MMOs, but like that’s it.

inclementimmigrant,

Yup.

Veraxus,

Yep, hard pass. I wouldn’t do this for an online game, let alone a single player one. Unacceptable.

LostWanderer, to pcgaming in God of War Ragnarok and Until Dawn coming to Steam, requires PlayStation Network Account

Sony will one day learn to not shoot themselves in the foot while running…PSN is terrible and vulnerable to hacking! Given that it isn’t available everywhere, its a non-starter for me.

I wonder if “others” under “Linux Distributions (split)” is mostly SteamOS (arch-based)?

This is more of “straw poll” as it’s limited to self-reported users of gamingonlinux.com.

Huschke, to pcgaming in SteamVR for Linux gets "experimental improvements to async support"

One day I’ll be able to use my Meta Quest 2 on Linux without any issues.

ISolox, to pcgaming in Puppygames bring massive-scale asynchronous PvP battle simulator Battledroid to Kickstarter

If your looking for a f2p game similar to this just play Beyond All Reason.

Free and open source. No energy system or microtransactions.

Not asynchronous though.

ILikeBoobies, to pcgaming in Puppygames bring massive-scale asynchronous PvP battle simulator Battledroid to Kickstarter

My biggest problem with auto-battlers is that you have to watch them fight. My computer should be able to do the calculation nearly instantly

buying DLC to build their armies quicker or make them look prettier

Wondering why they used DLC here instead of micro transactions

Controlling territory brings in silver, which is consumed by your attacks. Silver is continually replenished in real-time.

An energy system

There’s also gold, which can be used to purchase more units for your armies. Gold can be earned through logging in regularly. Some of the Kickstarter tiers comes with a lifetime subscription to Battledroid, which means, we’ll give you a gold bonus every day.

Concerning

Mikufan, to pcgaming in No leaving a Steam account in a will after you die according to Valve

You can just give em the credentials instead.

My brother didn’t leave me any of his credentials. 🫡🥹.

Mikufan,

Rip.

Draconic_NEO,

I advise you learn from your brother’s mistake, keep a copy of them somewhere secure that your loved ones will be able to access when you’re no longer around. If you desire to pass it down at least.

Valve is probably just saying that’s a breach of ToS, so they can basically ban the account.

Mikufan,

Nah, you can already sell accounts and they do nothing, this is just the support saying that they cannot give your data to others, this is to please two kinds of people, the privacy guys and the people selling on steam. They however do not enforce. Also its questionable if this sentiment holds up in court, there have for example been cases in Germany where Facebook was forced to give access to the parents of a deceased, so questionable.

Their policy and what they do is not necessarily the same thing.

there have for example been cases in Germany where Facebook was forced to give access to the parents of a deceased

Giving access to a free account is not the same as giving ownership of thousands of dollars in paid licenses.

Mikufan,

The matter is the reasoning behind it. And as i said courts would have to decide.

And yes them not enforcing this basically means its just to appeal to the publishers, they probably couldn’t care less themselves.
