indulge in Steam Sales and Piracy

there's almost always a sale somewhere to the point you hardly need to pirate anymore.

isthereanydeal.com - all official.
has an offical steam plugin: https://augmentedsteam.com/ - it's basically cheating once you use it.

deals.gg for the more questionable sites and keys (although the price difference isn't that big anymore).

Casuals will still mostly gravitate towards consoles. Valve could capitalize on the price increase Sony is doing and release Steam Deck 2 without restricting it to be sold exclusively through their site, and actually advertise the thing, but I guess they're not going to.

I think valve got burned too much with steam machines and the vive, they rather take the hit than give up control.

a steam OS with tighter hardware specifications and a performance index would accomplish almost the same.
 
This "modernized" Marathon is literally nothing like the originals except for the name. I see no hint of aliens with Un'pronounc'ab'le Nam'e's with Una'Ccep'ta'bl'e Numbe'rs of Ap'ostrop'hes in their names, no sign of arrogant, smug, smack-talking AIs waxing philosophical about how much organic life sucks while demanding the organic lifeform they've presently captured do the work their helpless silicon chips can't do for them, no airy gunplay or goofy "Doom-also-ran engine with fun add-ons like Build did" movement, nothing.

There's also (thankfully) no whiff of that unjustified arrogance Mac fags had for awhile because a game that wasn't Myst was finally (albeit briefly) a Mac exclusive and those filthy DOS/Windows users couldn't have it.

Oh and also OG Marathon fucking OOZED soul from every pore, platform snobbery notwithstanding, and this update shows absolutely no evidence of any soul whatsoever. Durandal wouldn't even bother to piss on this incoming mess.

It's as if they heard you! :story:
 
Does anyone use the SteamOS? Is it just steam in big picture mode or is it a full OS?
 
It's impressive, every single "this is why nintendo sucks/is greedy!" and every single "this is why nintendo fans are retarded/bootlickers!" talking point has been completely blown out of the damn sky in less than 2 weeks by sony and their corporate drones, but suddenly, outside of a couple of very scattered pockets, it just isn't being discussed.

I'm genuinely interested to see what the Steam Deck 2 ends up looking like (assuming they're even planning to release a followup). I quite like my Steam Deck and am very pleased with it. It'd be neat to see them casually 1-up themselves and the rest of the industry with a successor.

It's too expensive and confusing for normies. Valve need a console, probably without the name 'Steam' attached to it, maybe using a codename or something. Steam and valve aren't console-y names. Xbox, Playstation, NES/SNES, Gamecube, Dreamcast, they're all good names.

It's not that difficult to figure out. Steam OS is pretty great when you start to actually use it, and it's a bit more robust than a lot of console OS.

I should have said, I was looking through the moronic eyes of normies. From speaking to workplace mongs, Steam and Valve confuses them, they don't know what it is. Any chance of a mom buying a console for little timmy and buying a steamdeck over a switch which has a household family name, Nintendo, is going to be a hard sell.

Steamdecks are PC machines for fat, fedora-tipping, basement-dwelling nerds, in the eyes of the normies.

It definitely isn't too expensive, and it's not confusing at all. It could be slightly more streamlined by defaulting the store to only showing Verified & Playable games, but I guess that's about it probably.

As for names, Steam Deck is okay but they could've done better, something that rolls off the tongue a little better, but at this point they're better off just sticking with it.
 
The average normalfag is too retarded to even figure out how to buy a steamdeck, let alone actually use one. At best, they'll see some shitty ROG or Lenovo at the store, impulse buy it on credit, fiddle with it for maybe 20 minutes before giving up, and place it on some display shelf to show off to their 2 viewers on twitch while they play normalfag AAA competitive shooter live service slop #4731 on their ps5.

Funnily enough, with the more recent generations of consoles a lot of the convenience (put the disk/cartridge in and play right away, no account tomfoolery to setup, minimal storage management, etc.) has been eroded. While I think steam desktop proper is still too complicated for a large swath of the normalniggers, the big picture mode on the steam deck seems to be sufficiently easy to understand that it could rightfully appeal to that demographic. What's holding it back is that many of the most popular releases are too demanding and/or have DRM which doesn't function with Linux. A return of the Steam Machine could further push Valve into the console space, with the increased functionality of Proton making it an actually viable product, but given the failure from their initial foray I imagine they're wary to give it another go.

Also, I predict Marathon will flop (albeit not to the same, pitiful, degree as Concord): Overfilled genre, unappealing visuals (I guess they tried making it look like a closet full of sneakers to appeal to niggers and other urbans?), and a studio that has burned its reputation with how its handled its prior game.
