This is absolutely useful for developers and the health of the gaming ecosystem.

In past years, gacha/P2W games have had too many pages and too much traffic, exposing their trash to lure new gamers in the Steam store.

Traditional/buyout games have had unfair exposure conditions. Years ago, I sensed this problem, but I found good games through other channels, so I wasn’t impacted by this condition. However, the competition between buyout games and gacha/P2W games in the Steam Store is absolutely unfair.

So, I am very glad to see Valve changing this condition.

I hope I can see a lot of high-quality demos of buyout games occupying the Steam store page, getting the most exposure instead of gacha/P2W trash.

It's cool, but I really love my Steam Deck!

You need to realize the reality: we live in a cyberpunk world now.

I just bought the Steam Deck 3 days ago. And I like modding ES5 and Cyberpunk 2077. So I will!

Switching to Linux is better.

Just for kids? It needs to be totally banned for everyone!

I hope MS can fulfill its promise and not abandon it like they did with Surface RT, Windows Mobile, Windows Phone 7, Lumia, Kinect, Xbox, MSN Messenger, Cortana, Tango Studio, “Windows 10 is MS’s last OS”, etc.

It is not absolutely safe and anonymous. If I can’t just turn it off completely, it’s unacceptable for me.

No, the payment is apple users’ data, is me. If I can’t turn it off completely, I won’t update the OS.

Thanks for the long details, dude.

I just use Windows to run games. I need nothing else on Windows. So Tiny11 is good enough for me.

In terms of safety, I don’t store any information on Windows, so I never update it. It's just a gaming tool for me.

If my game accounts like Ubisoft, Steam, or GOG are leaked, it’s acceptable. They are just some email addresses and automatically generated passcodes, easy to update. It’s not important.

And the file systems used by Windows and Linux partitions aren’t mutually readable, so running games on Windows is hardly likely to affect the safety of the Linux partition. It’s perfect.

I use dual boot. Virtualization is a bit cumbersome and inefficient for me.

I just use Windows to run games; I don’t do anything else on it. iPad/Linux is better for me.

Generally, Proton is enough for gaming.

I use Tiny11 when I have to use Windows to run games.

This modified Windows edition has no ads, no Edge browser, no forced online microsoft account, and no forced updates, so it’s a tolerable Windows edition.
