I’m not upset. I was answering that Valve hasn’t huge capital because they hoard the money.

It means that they can spend money on “hobby projects” like employing gamedev teams that don’t actually ship anything and prototype until everybody leaves with boreout or their other hardware endeavours, the Deck itself isn’t even that profitable. Throw it on the wall and see what sticks is a luxurious innovation strategy that can only be employed if you make that much money.
Yes, having a quasi-monopoly on selling PC games online. They are constantly burning money.

1·3 个月前I may try it again. Shortly after release it barely couldn’t hold 30fps, maybe I did something wrong.

5·4 个月前Some Baldurs Gate 3, but the performance is kinda bad and it looks muddy, despite the native Linux version (which is also buggy, sometimes the UI overlay stops working until a restart). After a break I‘m planning on either FFIX, the recent Breath of Fire PC release or Trails In The Sky.

Patient Gamers@sh.itjust.works•Anyone a fan of Wizardry, or other first-person dungeon crawlers?
171·5 个月前Legend of Grimrock and Vaporum are supposedly pretty good. World of Horror looks sick and has a Junji Itō inspired spin. And there is a new release The Secret of Weepstone that’s very much inspired by the current resurgence of oldschool tabletop games.

Steam Hardware@sopuli.xyz•is it fine to leave steam deck in sleep mode instead of turning it off?
9·6 个月前I’ve heard that’s one of the big cons of the x86 architecture, one of the reasons why it’s a very unpopular choice for mobile devices.

Sorry not my native language, I mean hoarding money is not the reason why they have huge amounts of capital.
