I might have considered waiting for a Steam Deck 2 if I thought there was any chance of it being available in Norway. That said, it might be a long wait. It seems they're treating the Steam Deck more like a console, rather than a PC. Which makes perfect sense. Fewer iterations to support, and owners of version 1 are a little less likely to get left behind by developers as a version 2 would probably make that the lowest target.
Hope they make the latest version of SteamOS available to other handheld makers in an official capacity at some point. I can't see it harming them as I doubt they earn much from the hardware sales. I always figured the main goal was to ensure that also your handheld library is purchased from them. I like Steam, but I try and buy as much as I can from GoG. Really wish Steam would allow developers to sell their games drm free. The choice really should be theirs, not Valves.
All very true; I just with GoG Galaxy wasn't such a POS.
But all these clients are massive pieces of shit, so I dont know what I expect ๐
Yeah, I wish they would just simplify it and focus on what matters. Sync saves to the cloud, and let me install and launch my games. I don't need it to be some cross-service game launcher. I don't need social features. I just want my games ๐คฃ!
Personally I just download the exe files and install them. Means I won't automatically get patches though.
Hmm. That got me thinking. I've seen unofficial API documentation for GoG. Maybe it's possible to create a Telegram bot that lets me know when a game I own has a new version available ๐ค.
There's probably an RSS feed somewhere that can do that kind of thing.
Maybe that's the next target for the Fediverse, game distribution ๐
Definitely something I'll be looking into when I have the time (the RSS thing, not the Fediverse game distribution thing ๐คฃ).
