A few devs who did have commented that Linux users are like <1% of players but most of the crash reports or things like that. That was before the Steam Deck blew up though, so now you might have more Linux players, but those mostly use Proton, so why do you need a native Linux version.

Finally, a rogue-like deck builder, there really aren't enough of these.
I played it with a friend and we had the exact same thoughts.
I'm definitely not as down on Rebirth as you, but I liked Remake more. The combat is still fun enough, even if some fights/enemies are terrible.
I've also been thinking of re-playing the original, when I'm done, just as I've done after Remake. Like you said, I remember the pace throwing me for a loop.
I have to check that out tonight. Performance was mostly alright for me, but yesterday in the Gold Saucer I had some big frame drops, every time the camera jumped in cutscenes.
Sometimes I want the freebies you get with the pre-order, sometimes it's about pre-loading.
before seeing actual reviews and not reviews against free/early access copies?
"Actual reviews", because you can only have an opinion on something, if you paid for it.
I played a bit of FFVII rebirth at the start of the week [...] I’m not sure if I wanna continue it tho
I'm also playing the game, it's kinda disappointing, since I loved Remake, but I like the characters enough to continue.
Yeah, I usually just follow the instructions, which seems to work 99% of the time. The main problem is usually if a mod still works with the latest game version.
I pre-order games. Steams refund policy makes it pretty much risk-free. Usually it's shortly before launch, if I want to play the game immediately anyway. For big games, reviews pretty much always come out before launch or on the day of, so I can still always cancel, if it looks bad. I don't remember regretting any of these purchases, even if I didn't like all the games.
Mostly Final Fantasy VII Rebirth. Feels like this game took half a step forward and two steps back, compared to the first part. It tries to do a lot of things and doesn't do many well. There's minigames-ish for so many things. The open-world stuff kinda tries to be Assassin's Creed lite, but all zones are huge, but pretty empty, with the same two types of "events" in them (go somewhere or fight). Of course, the game has a shitty crafting system, so you can pick up material in the empty zones. Combat is a bit better than before, but then the devs managed to craft the perfect enemies to make some fights feel like hell, even worse than the worst fights in Remake, and I'm not even done with the game yet. I've played the game for 40 hours, but the story has barely moved. I think there's supposed to be an alternate timeline, but I think I've seen like five minutes of it. It's been pretty disappointing so far, but I still like the characters, so I'll continue playing.
Then a bit Baldur's Gate 3. Started another Honor Mode run, going with pretty much the same party build as my first run, where I almost made it. The full fighter playthrough has to wait for the next Patch.
I really have to get back to this. I played through Doom 1 and 2 when it first dropped, then wanted to go through Final Doom (Evilution and Plutonia) for the first time, but got distracted with other games.
There were also some minor bugs, that I hoped would be fixed, but to be honest, I don't even know what they were.
My favorites are definitely the Xbox Elite controllers, but like you said, they got garbage build quality. First Elite had the same bumper problem, returned it, next one had the same issue. Elite 2 was the same, I think.
The Dualshock 4 and Dualsense worked without any problems for me on Windows (Steam). But my first Dualsense also had a problem after about half a year (returned it), and my current one has shut itself off occasionally while playing. I also just can't get used to the symbols on the face button and like the Xbox ABXY more. If I can change it in a game, I'll always set it to the Xbox variant.
I'm currently back to the 8bitdo Ultimate, which had some issues early on (I think connectivity), but it got some firmware updates and has been fine so far.
