My Steam Deck convinced me to try Linux (Debian) a try for desktop gaming. So long as you install the latest GPU drivers, it’s smooth as butter. I guess what I’m saying is Linux for everything at this point… for those capable of installing drivers from the CLI.

If Denuvo has no negative impact on sales, what’s the need for their recent PR campaign to “rehabilitate their image”? https://feddit.nl/post/22918778

Denuvo is a deal-breaker for me.

And I can refund the game if I don’t like it. And I can see reviews of the game by those who have been vetted as having bought it.

Depends on how you get it. Consenting adults donating their own they can afford to lose? Vegan. Caged up toddlers that can’t consent? Not vegan.

Steam Deck support?

Don’t forget you can ignore publishers.

https://steamcommunity.com/groups/DenuvoGames/curation is also useful.

If the camera really does need to be that thick for lens reasons, couldn’t we at least make the rest of the body bigger with more battery?

Speaking of unhelpful, eurogamer.net is littered with ads. They add no value to the original Reddit post (https://old.reddit.com/r/Steam/comments/1emb4ch/valve_is_finally_addressing_bad_reviews_issue/).

Its the same “power corrupts” story again and again. Karina Gould gave an impassioned speech on electoral reform (http://www.ourcommons.ca/DocumentViewer/en/42-1/house/sitting-64/hansard#Int-8963139). But after replacing Maryam Monsef as Minister of Democratic Institutions, her views suddenly became far more simplistic. In a 2017 interview on CBC’s Metro Morning, she was asked “Why is it important that people at the very least believe every vote counts?”. She replies “Because they do. … We literally count them: 1, 2, 3, 4, up to the majority that wins.”

You can ignore all games from publishers on Steam. I’d recommend doing this with any publisher with anti-consumer practices.

Installing the lastest Nvidia drivers for Debian was pretty straightforward, after which everything runs smoothly. I suspect the distro you pick isn’t going to matter as much as you think!

“When other people take notice of an individual’s identity-related behavioral intention, this gives the individual a premature sense of possessing the aspired-to identity.”

Likewise. Debian, installed Steam, updated my graphics driver, and everything runs smoothly. I’m surprised how well Linux gaming has come along!

If only https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_v._Paramount_Pictures,_Inc. was expanded to streaming services instead of repealed.

I suspect the difficulty the publishers face is that fun is difficult to quantify. The read on this might end up being “All things being equal, DRM/MTX/etc aren’t statistically impediments to financial success if the game is going to sell well anyway. If we percieve them to improve our bottom line, let’s include them”.

Take a read through https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_v._Paramount_Pictures,_Inc.

Real shame this was terminated rather than extended to streaming platforms.

If you find one (or make one!), link it here please. :)
