So it's actually a tester from valve who marks the game as supported or not, and then there are community reports to make sure the rating is accurate.
I've never followed Joe Rogan, so I'm a bit ignorant here. Didn't he used to be really popular? What changed, did he become right wing or get really into conspiracies or something?
Honestly not having a dpad and second thumbstick is a deal breaker for me on the original steam controller, it means that most games with built in controller support don't work well without switching to a custom or community layout. I think having a "normal" controller layout + trackpads/etc is necessary for the controller to succeed.
Additionally, having this layout means it will match the Steam Deck, which should make all control profiles interchangable.
There was a request to halt sales until the specific mechanics were removed, with the mechanics being throwing pokeball like items and riding monsters.
That lawsuit might take years, and the requested damages from Nintendo are only $66,000. Palworld isn't going to be shut down anytime soon, even if they lose the case.
The steam deck is much wider than a normal controller, so much less of an angle is needed for a comfortable grip. There's a reason that most handhelds (Switch, Rog Ally, Lenovo Go, Wii U gamepad, etc) don't have angled grips.
I find the regular steam deck to be very comfortable for it's size and weight.
There were similar concerns when the steam deck was first revealed, and it works fine. So I'm not too worried.
Honestly, the biggest issue with the original was that it's non-traditional layout meant that games with built in controller support didn't necessarily work well on it. This layout will make it full featured as a "normal controller", while offering additional input options when the game benefits from it.
There will probably be gamingonlinux/steamdeckhq articles in the morning, but for now this is the only source.
He's a well known steam data miner, it's not just a random Twitter user claiming to have a leak.
Obvious examples are countries like Russia, China, North Korea, etc. Russia specifically passed laws banning misinformation in 2020, and later fined google millions of dollars over it.
I bought up Psychonauts 2 and Jedi Fallen Order for myself. A friend gifted me Astlibra (which I'm really excited about), and Brok the Investiagator.
I also gifted a copy of Shadows of Doubt and F.E.A.R. Hadn't realized until after my friend tried it, but turns out F.E.A.R. is one of those games that runs perfectly on linux, but doesn't run well on Windows anymore. Requires multiple patches to remove memory caps for windows, and even then it still has fps dips for some reason. Meanwhile linux/steam deck runs it perfectly.
