That’ll be nice. A lot of branding options there. Powered by SteamOS, that’ll be nice for knowing that all the devices drivers have Linux support

Steam Included, easiest win for manufacturers. Steam Deck is pretty much an older generation AMD laptop. Slapping Steam Included should be viable for most new laptops these days

Steam Compatible, hardware shipped with approved controller inputs. I guess Android TV boxes shipped with a gamepad for Steam Link or GeForce Now

Steam Link Compatible, that’s practically any computing device with a WiFi card or Ethernet these days. I guess anything that doesn’t have a gamepad included

Heard of it because of the no SBMM thing, had to Wikipedia it because never bothered playing. Thing came out May 21st. If Concord hadn’t bombed out in one weekend, this would be bigger news

B770 to hypothetical B9XX is what I’m looking for. Phoenix benchmarks because not many doing Linux benchmarks. 8700-8800xt or B700-B9XX for me next year

I think it’s better ray tracing performance than XTX but rasterizing similar to 7900xt. So RTX 4070ti to 4080 performance

After roe vs Wade and another 4 years of Republicans getting the chance to replace the old Republican appointees and maybe Sotomayor kicking the bucket, I wouldn’t be surprised if the SC did enable some future bans in the next couple of decades

What’s mid range price now? I remember getting an ATI HD5770 for I think like $150 and then later a GTX 970 for like $320. Ten years ago for the 970 and that 970 had a 145w TDP. 5770 108w TDP

8800xt after its price settles after half a year may be right for me

Didn’t the Epic lawsuits against Apple and Google end up showing Valves Steam cut ended up working out to something closer to 20% after all the key sales and whatever other factors. Plus EGS already does less than 20% cut and it’s been like 6+ years and that client is still bare bones and they don’t even do gift cards or price lower. Same for Microsofts store which I believe is lower on PC while still 30% on console.

Regardless at best this lawsuit would just mean an end to 3rd party steam key sales or Valve taking a 30% cut on those too. At best a victory against Valve would mean more expensive games with the loss of keysite stores pricing advantage

Also games used to MSRP $10 cheaper on Steam when there was an argument that going digital was a major cost savings compared to physical products/packaging, shipping, and retailler cut. Eventually publishers stopped caring and made physical and digital prices the same while adding an assortment of DLC and subscriptions
