All they need to do is keep Steam relevant for as many potential customers as possible.
Remember how Epic recently revealed that they were expecting to own half of the PC platform market by now? The Deck is a great way to discourage that.

There's always untapped market. And people who did not previously consider buying games for a PC (or don't have one...cause it's 2023), may now have a Deck, a Steam account and a bunch of games they bought (may even have rebought)

And they have PC and buy games on PC anyways to play games that can't run at all on Deck

There's also the psychological messaging of "You buy it once, you can play it on several devices - We aren't Nintendo. We don't abandon your old games in a couple of years, forcing you to re-buy them for the Switch 3"

ok so they play on pc what can't run on deck and buy something like idk some sonic game to play they wouldnt ever buy on pc

Systemd boot > grub
Why though? I have little experience with both (besides using them.. To boot)
tough jay
It is generally just a bit faster / more convenient to use in terms of config, yes grub can do a bit more but most of the time systemd boot is just the simpler setup.
Just some config files in the boot partition. It also can easily auto detect entries to reboot to efi and the windows bootloader for dual boot.

How... aggressive?
Just keep your fingers relaxed, as you relax your hand your fingers will bend on their own, for claw grip it'll be that
Aren't you overthinking how to hold a mouse a bit? 
As long as it's comfortable for you - it's fine

Its just cause ive never like actually learned about this stuff and I wanna learn about it and find the one for me
hardy merlin
First and foremost - you have to be comfortable with your grip
If you won't be comfortable holding your mouse you'll be fiddling about how you should grab it instead of efficiently transferring your movements into the PC
But when you got that down - that's all. There's no some ultimate solution for how to hold a mouse, no matter whatever anyone says, because everyone has their preferences
Just do some carpal tunnel exercises from time to time and you're good to go

Creation Engine 2's only advancements have been:
- barely improved graphics (but now the game runs like shit and hits the ssd hard)
- relatively unbuggy for a Bethesda game
Starfield's seeming lack of ambition I am 100% convinced is down the the Creation Engine being unable to handle any modern ideas, despite tacking a "2" to the end of the name it barely an advancement over its predecessor.
Bethesda needs to either rebuild a new engine from the ground up (no importing of legacy code), or just get Unreal like 343's doing

Just because I hold a different opinion from you doesn't make me a fucking liar you rotten cunt.
Combat system is far below other modern titles, with extremely dumb AI that just runs at you and doesn't know how to take cover. It's barely an advancement over Fallout and that game felt old too.
Physics once again has barely advanced in comparison with other games, and might be the reason for its rotten performance. And besides even if it improved how does it show the engine is a true version 2?
I in fact stated its been relatively unbuggy for a Bethesda game. Might surprise you to know bugs arent measured purely in game crashes
It's ok to love the game for what it is, but don't gaslight the redt of us for being disappointed in Bethesda stalling out

Oh you're the kind who think those games "campaigns" can be considered thus. Goo...
So just cause bad company is lesser known than the mainline modern warfares, suddenly they are unimportant?
MW series had insane popularity in multiplayer, doesn't make the campaign any less important
orchid prism
Yes, yes they are.
These games have campaigns as a tacked on afterthought. It was never about those. (at least after the days of Call of Duty 4 or thereabouts)
feral ferry
Nowadays campaigns are an afterthought, not back then

In the case of those games? Hard disagree.
I genuinely couldn't care less abnout any of these games being delisted. If you for some reason have a hardon for the "campaigns" for those games, just grab them on the high seas.

Is there a reliable superglide setup? I tried setting up a double trigger on one key at 2mm = space bar and 3.5mm = C. However the timing just doesn’t seem consistent. No idea why. I’ve played with every distance variation for space as well, but at 225hz I have a 6ms window and I feel like the Wooting programming isn’t accurate to that degree. Two separate inputs seem to work
drifting rose
I think the crux of the remake will be that it'll be too polished, SH2 was rough around the edges but that's where it gets part of its charme for me

Smth fucked up I found out when I found this website is that the way my keyboard scans inputs is just extremely bad for superglides
But also there's no tkl wooting keyboard so it feels like a waste to get a new keyboard just for superglides when we might see a new wooting during this year
hardy merlin
Doubt it's keeb's fault, given after some training it's not that hard to hit superglide even with random €2 cheapo from supermarket
You can always turn on Tachyon mode and try with that
Also it's way easier to superglide at 144FPS than it is at 225

Xbox just had the better controllers and experience for me
fringe salmon
just use an adapter to use xbox controller on playstation if you really prefer that controller
fading spade
Sure but I'm talking about how the controller feels in hand
The PS3 and PS4 controllers felt really fragile and strange to me when using them
fringe salmon
if we assume no special price deal or anything, xbox just offers less than playstation, one has all games the other has all games + exclusives
drifting rose
the xbox one controller I have can't be used anymore because drivers / games expect up-to-date firmware, and I have neither an xbox nor a windows to update them... but the PS3 controller works like a charm still. such a lovely thing

plenty of easy to follow steps if the controller is the reason you dont like ps

I also don't like the UI on PlayStation
