Hmm, I guess in these cases the XBox release is the primary version, the PC version is just an afterthought that probably wouldn't even exist if it wasn't for gamepass.

It's not announced for game pass yet. So they might get 5 players on PC if lucky.
In this specific case, I guess ignorance is more likely, doubt that Aniplex knows anything about PC gaming in general.
At the very least they have Aniplex.EXE, their VN publishing arm with two titles out on Steam.
I wonder what they're up to, pretty much quiet all the way through 2021.
Started Bloodstained and I'm digging it.
Also just finished watching Breaking Bad and yeah, it's without a doubt one of the best TV shows of all time and Walter White is one of the most memorable characters ever written.

That’s like sticking shiny green flames decals on your brand new FerrariEpic is their biggest sponsor and advertiser. The day the Steam Deck released, PC gamer posted a tutorial how to install EGS on it.
games from older windows versions often run better on linux because wine has better backward compatibility, especially games from before the NT era, i was actually hoping for "Wine for Windows" for a long time because of that.
so putting old games off of physical discs etc you might as well try SteamOS first rather than having the trouble to install Windows on it, which isnt made for the Deck. your milage with old unsupported games will vary anyway.
but yeah, i obviously dont blame people for using windows, on their pcs or decks or whatever.
I do however, hope most people give SteamOS a chance and stick with it, as that can only bolster linux as a viable gaming platform. the more common it becomes, the better
Well, Valve said it's not coming at launch and they don't have ETA. So don't expect anytime soon. But it's coming ... eventually.
You can ofcourse force it, but it seems to assume it's running on Linux/Steam Deck, so you'll get frequent error popups.

It's going well for Core Keeper. Yesterday the devs posted that they sold over 100k copies in two days. The game also peaked over 16k players at the same time. Currently it has 11k players playing it now. It's pretty impressive numbers for an indie game
The game has over 1000 reviews which are very positive (94%)
I have yet to try the game myself. Purchased it yesterday, but I am currently occupied with Witcher 3 for the moment. I will try the game tonight or this weekend.

Don’t fret about BPM people, the Deck UI is super hot and while usable I can totally assure you everyone will benefit from a good long series of patch.
Really good for them
I'm not a fan of sandbox-y games, and my friends prefer games with shorter game loops. That said, I can definitely see there being a market for it (given how popular Minecraft is)

BPM is not going to get updated, BPM is going to get ditched in favor of the new gamepad UI from Deck and do not expect it until they finish updating it with new features and fixing some problems here and there, once that's done, Steam will get the new UI for controllers.
As for the third party exclusivities coming from Platform holders like MS and Sony while they release some or all of their content on PC, it's to make sure they can get enough marketing material to make their platform appealing for some amount of time each year, if you have a very important third party within your platform for at least 12 months you can use it to sell your platform in a more wider way.
At the end of the day most if not all games will arrive sooner or later to Steam (except very specific exceptions) so, patience, I guess.

I agree with it likely not coming in the near future, but I don't think it has anything to do with fulfilling orders. Even at Valve, I doubt anyone actively involved with that is also working on UI codeI'm not holding my breath for a BPM update in the near future. Maybe after they fulfil all Steam Deck orders for the privileged regions. Even then...
I'd expect the priority of all people working on that to be the Steam Deck experience right now, and for the near-term future. Once that is solid they'll probably start porting and generalizing it as necessary to make it replace BPM.
Actually, in some way they are retiring the big visual difference that existed between big picture and the regular Steam UI. The Deck UI uses the same UI elements that you see in the new Steam library, just blown up and modified to fit controller use.
So what that means that if Steam decides to update the look of those elements in the client, you will get the same changes in the Deck UI. It won't be these two completely separate UI experiences, it will hopefully feel far more cohesive.

So Steam is actually biggest gaming platform out there by MAU (I don't count Roblox and similar things into this it is kinda totally different concept).
Greatest feature update of all time
Looks like Origin games purchased on Humble store will be keyless activation after 18th March.
This only affects games bought from the store. Bundled games aren't affected by this change
Been trying to play Distant Worlds 2 but their font scaling is broken. Even using a workaround they have on their site is dreadful and I can't play it like that. Turning off windows scaling before starting the game isn't much better and I'm an alt-tab do other things kind of person, so thats not doable unless I find my glasses.
So disapointed all around with it. Day-one buying games experience is shit once again.

God I love the writing of this game. This is so stupid it's good.
Edit: also don't forget this gem!

Riot Launcher is bigger than Steam.
Riot Launcher technically is not platform, they offer only Riot games.
I'm currently playing a Strahd campaign so this is very fucking timely yes
Riot Launcher is a literal games launcher, not a platform like Steam and GOG.

The raffle has ended.
The following games are being given away:

I'd guess they're migrating to the new EA launcher and retiring Origin. The last time I used the EA launcher it was somehow worse than Origin, but that's been nearly a year ago.
Oh, are you kidding, fuck my life !
After 100 hours of raging on Elden Ring and semi swearing off From games, a couple days pass, I'm still kinda nervous, and bam, 'why not Nioh 2 / Surge 2 / Hellpoint as my next game ?'
As I said multiple times here, I hate and don't care a bit for those games obsession for challenging bosses. But the very exploration of levels being dangerous is incredibly satisfying and addictive.

Looks like the issues outlined above are being addressed by 1.0.1.5 Hotfix. Available for manual patching right now off of the link above, expected to land on Steam very soon.
As luck wouldn't have it, my office just reopened fulltime this week so that completely torpedoed any hardcore free time hours available to drop into DW2. Still managed to tour the game for an hour or so last night and I'm quite enjoying what I'm seeing so far.
With a game/genre of this size & scope, my early hours are typically spent just gawking, noodling around with the menus, UI, options, tutorials and such. Not so much diving straight into a campaign as much as getting a feel for everything.
Presentation is ace. Performance as well. For a title with such staggering information data points to track, it feels intelligently organized and easy to access 99% of the time.
Early hours with grand strategy titles are hard to gauge on a comprehensive scale, only hinting at the possibilities on offer. So far I'm sensing this will be one of those rare titles like Stellaris and Crusader Kings that will remain on my hard-drive for years to come.
In other news, updated demo for Lorn's Lure dropped today. It's a completely new build from the one that was previously available back in 2021.
Can't wait to give it a test drive as the previous demo insta-sold me on the game.

Flashback to all those train journeys i made with the GBA. Get Tony Hawks GBA and Jackie Chan Adventures GBA on there and i'm in nostalgia heaven or hell i'm not sure.
EA is probably going keyless... which is the opposite of good. EA desktop app is garbage enough already to be without the possibility of getting keys on the side..

That is a year after release, unless you mean the page going up. Then yeah that is really soon seeing as we usually don't see the pages go live a few days or so before release.
