Earlier this month Valve updated the Steam subscriber agreement to include language that prevents customers with disputes from filing lawsuits against the company, and instead forces them to agree to the decisions of a Valve-paid-for “independent” arbitrator. As bad as that is, we are now getting reports that users are being told that they have to either submit to the new terms or have their accounts permanently deactivated, and in the process lose access to all the content they purchased through Steam.
According to Valve: “The launch of Steam Deck will be delayed by two months. We’re sorry about this—we did our best to work around the global supply chain issues, but due to material shortages, components aren’t reaching our manufacturing facilities in time for us to meet our initial launch dates. Based on our updated build estimates, Steam Deck will start shipping to customers February 2022.”
Totally understandable given the current climate, but also a big blow for hype for sure. I would not be surprised if there was a further delay down the road, given how unpredictable assembly lines are at the moment.
That's a bummer, but only 2 months, and understandable given how unpredictable HW is right now.
Disappointing but not really surprised. I'll still be waiting and keep my pre order
75 hours in and here's our review of Cyberpunk 2077 from a gamers perspective [Steam PC - No Spoilers]
Satisfy your RPG cravings in the beautiful world of Cyberpunk. Bugs and performance issues aside, the core gameplay is brilliant.
a new update is up for Cyberpunk 2077 1.06 is out!, for some reason is pretty exciting to get updates for this game lol :D
...oh yeah about this review.....hmmmm .... well it says review in the article title alright, sorry I only wanted to post the news about the new update lol.
Sure, you can drop the occasional dollar on Humble Bundle or Fanatical. Or keep an eye on IsThereAnyDeal like your life depended on it. But, there are hundreds of games up on steam (and other sites) free to play. The best things (games) in life are free. It’s one of the best four letter word that just brings joy to our hearts, does it not?
Wow. Now that's messed up.
Is there any way that the article could include a link to the support forum where this post appeared, however? Would make verifying the story a little easier for approvers.
Nasty. *sigh* Should I expect more things like this down the road? -_-'
Another reason why I am very leery of digital distribution. They bought those games under the OLD TOS. Now, if they don't want to accept the new one (for whatever reasons) they get screwed out of games that they paid for. Doesn;t seem right to me.
didn't sony do something like this a few years ago?
Yeah you should be able to play the games you have already purchased without accepting new terms, If you dont accept new terms you cant buy new games.
