Been looking for a non-paywalled link...
This article is garbage and the headline is misleading. https://youtu.be/6zkkJtCh22E?si=4DiCNZJgOY4AzxXK
Developer Intercept Games does indeed seem to be getting shut down :( There's coverage at Eurogamer and lots of other sites, mostly pointing back to Jason Schreier (paywalled ofc because it's fucking Bloomberg).
It's not at all clear what that means for the game. "Safe" seems unlikely.
is there actually any rule against using gatorade for a baptism?
It's better, cuz it's got electrolytes.
Does it even have to be liquid water?
So like, ice X at 60 gigapascals and -120 ยฐC?
If a Catholic AI won't be allowed to officiate my wedding, at least Taco Bell will host it. So we're still not far from Idiocracy!
Steam Deck had a bunch of cool tech launch both with it and soon after it launched, like Steam Input.
Steam Input actually started years ago with the Steam Controller ๐ Valve has been quietly improving it for a long time now, and it's only gotten better with the Deck. SI is the #1 most underrated thing in gaming I swear.
But yeah the Steam client has quietly and steadily improved on Linux, even in the past 6 months. I saw issues with storage sizes, graphical bugs, page loading errors... and nearly all of it fixed now. It's in a good state.
FYI games on Steam don't actually have to use any DRM. e.g. Kerbal Space Program -- you can download it, close the Steam client, copy it to another folder, unplug your network cable... then go launch the .EXE from its directory and play anyway.
worst pieces of software ever conceived
Oh you sweet summer child. You've clearly never used Peoplesoft, or the shovelware packed with printer drivers, or browser add-ons from the Netscape days, or the horrible CD burner programs pre-installed on PCs in the 90s...
It's not innovative anymore
What have you been smoking? That's just plain wrong. See my other comment for examples.
That's the thing. You can launch Steam and have it just get the hell out of your way, and go enjoy your games. You don't really have to interact with any of the features on a regular basis. For many players, that's perfect.
But it's actually been incredibly innovative. Proton has made Linux gaming a reality when it previously seemed impossible. Remote Play Together is basically wizardry. Steam Input is fucking brilliant and lightyears beyond other control customizations. These things are available to every Steam user gratis if you want them.

No kidding! Glad someone gets it. A couple I know who Instagrammed their entire cross-Europe vacation last year couldn't understand why I don't want to travel at the same time as them this year even though we're going some of the same places ๐คฆโโ๏ธ
