I just want to sort by install location.

Genuine question, why is that useful?

[-] BartsBigBugBag@lemmy.tf 8 points 1 year ago

On Steam Deck, Steam supports hotswapping SD cards, so you can have multiple cards loaded with different games and quickly swap between them. Less useful for PCs.

Ah I see, that would be useful for the steam deck then.

I wonder though, why not just remove the games you don't have available on that sdcard? Wouldn't that make more sense?

Well, because sometimes I want to play those games.

So on deck, you just get an “installed” list in a sort of Big Picture-esque interface. You can sort it, but games that are installed on the internal drive are listed in-line with games on the SD, which can make it difficult to tell exactly which games are on the SD and which are on the internal at a glance.
