- pphysch 10mo agoA killer app is a great way to sell a "console". Windows port can come later.
- seaal 10mo agoDoubt it, considering Deadlock still only has Windows builds a year into alpha. https://steamdb.info/app/1422450/depots/ https://steamdb.info/app/1422450/depots/
- pphysch 10mo agoDeadlock is an F2P live service game with a (very) Early Access release & development model. Entirely different situation than bundling a finished HL3 + Steam Machine to achieve big sales.
- Ylpertnodi 10mo agoUnfortunately for Linux, the recent ram price increases are reason not to move (if thinking about a new pc).
- ZeWaka 10mo agoWhy would you need a new PC to swap operating systems?
- oarsinsync 10mo ago> Unfortunately for Linux, the recent ram price increases are reason not to move (if thinking about a new pc). Can you elaborate on why high RAM prices mean Linux is less attractive? Do you believe a usable Linux environment uses more RAM than a usable Windows 11 environment?
- bee_rider 10mo agoThey are assuming you’d build a new machine for Linux, I think. OTOH Windows 10 support ran out recently so I guess there are a lot of unsupported Windows machines that could be perfectly fine as Linux refurbs.
- LorenDB 10mo agoOrange Box 2. Then in another few decades we'd get Orange Box: Alyx.
- blibble 10mo agothis would be basically what they did with steam
- codeflo 10mo agoAre the rumors still hinting at a VR-only experience as they did a couple of years ago when Half-Life: Alyx released, or is that no longer the speculation? Because that would be unfortunate for me, I'd have to play with a bucket in hand.
- jsheard 10mo agoValve recently said outright that they have no VR titles in development. https://www.roadtovr.com/valve-no-first-party-vr-game-in-development-half-life/ https://www.roadtovr.com/valve-no-first-party-vr-game-in-dev...
- llbbdd 10mo agoMaybe they finished it...
- Krutonium 10mo agoThey also said there was nothing coming for SteamDeck in terms of better hardware about a week before they launched the OLED.
- jsheard 10mo agoDid they? AFAICT what they actually said was not to expect a faster Steam Deck any time soon, which was true, because the OLED version had basically the same performance as the original and in the two years since they still haven't released anything faster. https://www.theverge.com/2023/9/21/23884863/valve-steam-deck-2-refresh-upgrade-cpu-2025 https://www.theverge.com/2023/9/21/23884863/valve-steam-deck...
- WithinReason 10mo agoOLED has the same HW as the LCD, with only very minor differences
- nemomarx 10mo agoSeems unlikely with the steam machine coming? I haven't heard any sign of it specifically being frame only
- andrepd 10mo agoYes, I too have dabbled in that strongest of drugs called hopium.
- ManlyBread 10mo agoThese rumors come from Tyler McVicker who regularly gets things wrong and makes stuff up in order to get clicks on youtube. I have no idea why anyone still takes him seriously in 2025.
