Definitely get it RMA'd.
Honestly I think it's a stage of life thing. As I got older, got married, and had kids I found it increasingly hard to find time to play on my PC. The steam deck is perfect for short sessions you can stop and resume anytime, and I don't have to fight the kids for the TV or abandon everyone to sequester myself in the office.
Well also the change to pixel based screens from CRTs meant that you needed higher resolution for the picture to look comparitively good.
I probably would have bought a "PS4 in portal form factor" for twice the price, but streaming isn't worth it.
Which brings us back to the Steam Deck, which can also stream PS5 games like the portal, except in HDR (if you have the OLED).
Even if it's priced too highly, the PS5 Pro will probably sell pretty well. The Playstation Portal is very overpriced for what it is, and yet it's sold very well. There's a lot of Playstation fans with money to burn apparently.
20 years ago was pre-bluray, so the most common video media was dvd with resolution of 720 × 480 (480p). So 720p was really good 20 years ago.
API calls would still be a lot easier to replicate through wine/proton than completely uncontrolled kernel access.
Yeah I agree. The only reason to get the 64GB here is if you plan on install a 1TB SSD or something like that.
No, Steam families is now out of beta and is the default for all users I think. I'm not sure how long you can keep using the existing family sharing, but I'm guessing at some point you'll be forced to swap over.
The only risk is that if someone gets banned using your copy of a game, you'll be banned too.
So if you owned Rainbow Six, and your brother and as playing with your family copy and he got banned, you would be banned as well.
No, many steam games use steam to verify if you own the game. It's up to developers if they require their game to have steam drm or not.
If the game doesn't have Steam DRM, you can just copy the game folder and run it anywhere. But many games will require steam (with an account that owns the game) to be running before they'll open.
It takes a lot less money and knowledge to tear things down than it does to build them up. Especially if the members are willing to die for the cause.
