It’s all about the gameplay, always has been.

I’ve never needed high frame rates. What is more important is consistent frame rate. I’d rather have a consistent 30 than a range of 40-60.

I think you should talk to Valve. They shouldn’t care that you used a third party hub and Anker is a good brand usually.

Sorry this has happened to you but I think we would have heard about this by now if it was a common problem. I pre-ordered the Steam Deck and got one of the mid to early range shipments. I’ve been using an Anker hub since day one. There weren’t any official hubs available for some months after the Steam Deck came out.

That’s very cool that GameCube controllers are supported.

Helskate was a blast and I would assume runs well on Steam Deck.

I think the reasons are they are pushing a competing product.

I hate that. I love new games but never fully play the old ones.

International shipping from the US at least is going to be tough. I’ve seen items that cost $50 or more to ship.

Days Gone

Stardew Valley

Deep Rock Galactic

Empyrion

Hard to say without seeing a listing. If needs to be priced aggressively because most of the demand now will be for the OLED version. The market is probably saturated with regular Decks.

At home and at the shop where I work. At work the drives are actually stored in a Faraday cage.

Two hard drives of the same size, one on site and one off site.

Man it was so controversial at the time. I was on USENET gaming groups and there were a few people that worked complaining about Steam DRM into every conversation.

I found it, it was comp.sys.ibm.pc.games.action, a poster named John Lewis: https://groups.google.com/g/comp.sys.ibm.pc.games.action/c/EiQO3AOHanE/m/_DO3FqVFEWwJ

I can’t believe USENET is still active and I still recognize some of the names on new posts. Spalls Hurgenson for one.

Seems very doable, would just need a custom driver for the built-in controls that implements vibration.
