This is the way
Just to make sure it’s clear: not being Deck Verified doesn’t mean it won’t run on the Deck or on Linux in general. It means Valve has not hit their testing threshold for the title to mark it as verified or unsupported.
More specifically, it means Valve cannot guarantee a) the game will run (though anecdotally, I’ve had most if not all unverified games I tried work without issue), b) that the text is large enough to be readable on the Deck, or c) that the controls are usable (=you might have to just use the configurator yourself).
I think a danger Valve has introduced with the verification system is people thinking that not verified == no worky.
This result is predictable for a lot of different things that started as products and seem to be ending up as services.
Microsoft wants Windows to be a subscription service with the associated perks to the company (namely, targeted ads, and also extreme control over anything the system does, including this ad scheme), and so an increased number of people seek a more traditional OS.
The movie industry pushes streaming down everyone’s throat as a highly fragmented market where media ownership no longer exists; thus an increased number of people start to return to physical media.
Car companies push to paywall features of their cars behind subscription services. An increased number of people seek used cars which have no such paywalls.
The patterns are clear, in my view, but the C-suite is always driven by a naïve lust for ever-increasing profit.
Meh.
It’s not designed for or good for VR gaming. As an AR device, I find it a bit silly since I can just look at a real screen. It would be a novelty at $100, but at the price Apple wants I kind of think of it like a joke.
My thoughts exactly. By this reasoning, Candy Crush Saga could get taken down for copying Bejeweled.
$3000 is way too much for a tarp stapled to the back of an overpriced pile of shit
When did it die?
We paid for the development of the internet. We contributed the content. Now we watch the yacht owners take advantage of both because regulators are asleep at the wheel owned by corporations.
Most of their entire business model relies on collecting data hand over fist, constantly. Hell, even actively not using their products doesn’t even make you safe.
Yeah, maybe. Much more system overhead on Windows and the driver situation is different (AMD drivers are now just included in the Linux kernel).
As someone who regularly plays Arma 3 on a 6600 XT (and on Linux no less), I’m kind of scratching my head here.
Many companies are using AI to generate AI training data. Most of them are data brokers where the margins are becoming razor thin. It’s totally a bad idea, but it is definitely happening.
Ahahaha what do you think it’s 1995?
I’ve tried to make this point several times to folks in the industry. I work in AI, and yet every time I approach some people with “you know it ultimately just repeats patterns”, I’m met with scoffs and those people telling me I’m just not “seeing the big picture”.
But I am, and the truth is that there are limits. This tech is not the digital singularity the marketers and business goons want everyone to think it is.

I mean, the point of Debian is stability. If I’m running Debian then I’m not even gonna want to try and install the thing until after I’ve seen 100 people use it. I don’t think they’ll be looking for it in repos.
Most definitely. I don’t think personally I would have an interest in using GFN, but I just didn’t understand what it was at all.
it still exists
When will people stop supporting this clown?
Remember when some people were like “well, I don’t support him, but I’ve had this Twitter account forever, so I’m not leaving.” This is what happens. Things just get worse until you gain plausible deniability for continuing to support the bullshit.
