Cool love the steam deck. Hope valve return and make steam machines.

JEECE270d ago (Edited 270d ago )

If they did it right this time and have the same type of focus for that as they do Steam Deck, that would be awesome. The problem when they did it before is that they just sort of threw out the name "Steam Machines" and some hardware standards, and then never did anything else to cultivate it. If Valve actually made an official Steam Machine, I might actually be interested.

Really just tells you how small the MacOS gaming market was even after all this time.

JEECE270d ago (Edited 270d ago )

Yeah about every 7-8 years one or two major titles will either get Mac ports or launch simultaneously on Mac and we'll get a wave of articles from the Apple-obsessed writers at various game sites about how Mac gaming is finally turning a corner, and then it never does.

Last year a few of the guys I play PC games with and I were trying to find a decent RTS game we could play with our friend who only has a Mac. He couldn't figure out why MS didn't want to prioritize porting recent Age of Empires games to Mac lol.

That’s awesome, well deserved. I love my Steam Deck. Steam OS is fantastic at this point. I can do almost anything on Deck with desktop mode that I use my normal laptop for. Since launch it has constantly improved. One of my favorite devices ever

I don’t know if you have tried the Rog Ally yet. But if you have, how would you compare it to the Steam Deck? People keep talking about how great it is. I know the Rog Ally is more powerful, but I think the Deck is more efficient and the better value.

Should have happened a long time ago. People wanting refunds after 50 hours in game.

Pc gamers will take this as an excuse to pirate things

KyRo2d ago

I'm not sure why you're getting disgrees. Whilst not all PC gamers are petty, an awful lot of them are lol

Crows902d ago

Entirely untrue. Not any more petty than console gamers. The only large difference is console gamers don't have much of a choice.

Michiel19892d ago

Not sure why you're getting agrees. an awful lot of console gamers are overemotional twinks ready to go to war over a plastic box, I'll take being a pc gamer then.

Speaking about overgeneralizing much.

Nooderus2d ago

"X" type of gamer conversations are cringe

qalpha2d ago

Daily reminder that 'TheGamer' is a corporate-generated, anti-gamer, anti-consumer, clickbait web site. They are mostly A.I. generated articles that villainize gamers. They provide nothing positive and actively try to provoke and divide the community through extreme view points and politics. Do not give them any clicks.

Inverno2d ago

Only scumbags? As if people don't play their games on console put in the most amount of hours and return it to GameStop and trade it in for another game. But also how many people are actually do this? And what games have been allowed to be refunded?

DustMan2d ago

You can refund any game you've purchased as long as it hasn't been longer than two weeks, and you've played less than 2 hours. I wish they would change it to 3 hours because some RPG's have so much exposition that you may only get an hour total of complete gameplay. That's my only knock on it. I've refunded plenty of stuff I was just curious to try. I typically stay away from Early Access titles which are the only ones affected by this policy change.

Inverno2d ago

Apparently early access doesn't count, only complete games with a play early preorder bonus.

Gaming4Life19812d ago

I definitely know if I want a refund in 2 hours.

SegaSaturn6692d ago

I never liked refunding anything. Even if a film is bad, i dont want my money back. Sometimes things just aren't for me, and it's not the creator's fault necessarily.

Gaming4Life19812d ago

I feel you and i have never walked out on a bad movie cause I payed my money. I also don't refund games cause I'm a gamer and I know what to buy lol. I think having a digital refund is great.
