Leak: Valve is making a Steam Controller 2 and a ‘Roy’ for its Deckard in c/games@sh.itjust.works

I'd rather they made a proper steam machine. It's going to be tough for them to make a better controller than the PS5's or xbox's.

So, I guess the quick version is that the fun police are upset because of the gamer word. You know, the one used on Xbox live, a lot...

Or, exactly what I said? I guess you didn't read the article either by your logic.

I found UFO 50 pretty creative. Maybe it's not the problem of creativity. It's the problem of monopolistic gaming companies run by people that don't like games.

I'm in Germany. It should be illegal, but the companies get away with it. Even shitty newspapers like Bild are doing it. I use ublock with annoyances on and ghosterly but these still get through.

Arch if you know what you're doing. It's what I use, but my machine is pretty beefy. I've used xubuntu on the mini PC attached to my TV for about 6 years without a hiccup.
