Or just a description of my experience with both. Incidentally, the switch pro controllers are excellent, among the best I’ve used, period.
> For the steam deck, set family view, parental controls and you CAN hide any games you want now. If you connect the wireless controllers once to the steam deck (which can be connected to a tv), you are good to go, but you won't have games for them to play until they can properly read (6 or 7).
Oh, that’s great. Last I checked was like November and it was still crickets. All I want to do is hide all the games for one account on it that’s not even any part of our family sharing. Which I’d have thought would be default? It’s a weird choice they made, there. [edit] like, setting aside the hiding-games use case, having games show up in your library, as if they were yours, but that you can’t play without buying them be the default thing that happens is a strange choice.
Can I share with local-only accounts (does the steam deck have such a thing?) or will I need to go through an email address confirmation flow to sign up Stream accounts for each kid? I haven’t done much with this since there was no way to hide games, before, so there was no reason to.
- Fire-Dragon-DoL 3y agoYou CAN hide games on account independently of the family sharing now, It's in properties of each game. Of course these games are still accessible in the hidden section, but i don't know where that is. You do need one account per child, or you let them play on your account. You will need to hide the games on your own account in that case. I like the Switch Pro too, those are a bit better than xbox one for the small hands. Still enormous, my 3 years old started being able to use it only recently, while the basic switch controller was usable earlier (2 years old). And yeah, sorry for the tone, I'm frustrated with the switch controller configuration handling. If it wasn't for that I would get less meltdown when mario party messes up the whole configuration
