while everyone is busy shoving their own dick up their ass for their five seconds of pleasure before their cock prices plummet, valve is actually releasing and improving features. you love to see it.
steam families are now way easier to set up and let you play games even if someone in your family is accessing one of yours. massive steam W. i don't think i've ever seen digital game sharing be this easy.

@coolboymew @berkberkman Digital Foundry was actually just talking about Valve making a Steam Machine sort of thing again but themselves. Not speculating, just musing. In the wake of the PS5 Pro announcement, if consoles are going to keep getting more expensive it starts turning more people over to PC gaming and if Valve can make a beefier Steam Deck that's just one of these mini PCs that can fully function as a console while also selling it for less or the same price as whatever is coming out, there's probably a market for that.
@berkberkman @coolboymew i think the idea is that since valve has already done REALLY well with the steam deck, they might be able to knock it out of the park with a machine that's meant to go in the living room too.
Unsurprisingly, it didn't really change anything, but it's still more than Razer ever did.
The controller needs work, it's still worlds better than any other controller has been but it's only the first step in making them actually good.
Also last I heard it was tied up in legal trouble over some other company that was developing a controller with back buttons, but by their own admission they hadn't released anything that could have been used to steal it at the time that Valve announced their design.
>2015
>Steam OS
Yeah, no wonder they weren't too hot on the market
@coolboymew @berkberkman @Zergling_man as far as I remember, when they first came out they were actually running Windows and I actually have one of those early ones, little guy is still going and I love him. Then they turned into using Steam OS a few years later, never got one of those.
