And what do you play them on? Sony PlayStation, Nintendo Switch, or Microsoft Windows? Maybe you play the latter on Linux or macOS?

Playing the windows version on Linux doesn’t really support Microsoft. It’s not like on the consoles where they get a cut of the sales. Even playing directly on windows isn’t that terrible. I don’t remember the last time I purchased a copy of windows. I’ve been using the same key for like 15 years now

That means you’ll be playing the Microsoft Windows version on Linux, yes.

Indies and decent publishers, Itch.io, GOG, It might regress a little, but gaming won’t go away.

Tue choice is indie. Always has been.

Exactly…I’m sure that’s the literal point they are trying to make.
I just ignore them all completely and give them nothing like they deserve.

www.steamdeck.com is a good one.

You can play any games you want, though? Throw an emulator on there and play all your old games. Install non-steam games, add them to Steam using its very easy to use “Add a non-Steam game” button, and play as normal.
Heck, if you don’t like Linux you can just install Windows on the thing.
Steam takes a lot of money and then turns around and invests it into the gaming community.

They also use that money to pay their employees more than the industry average and to make their owner a billionaire that owns a yacht collection. They could 100% afford to take a smaller cut with only Gabe “feeling the impact”.

I saw a review where it was said that you can only play steam games, but I just looked it up and apparently you can play all the other games as well by simply adding them or launching other launchers…
Steam invest’s into the gaming community? Do you have any source for that so that I can read about that?

I don’t own a deck, but i know it’s way more then JUST a steam game player.
Another_earthling@lemmy.world 3 months ago
My fault, I watched a review where it was said that you can only play steam games, but I see that this isn’t true. You can indeed play all your PC games or whatever
woelkchen@lemmy.world 3 months ago
They take the same amount of money as other console makers and the store cut is completely unrelated to what Nintendo’s lawyers do which is the actual topic here.

Not that you need to use special tools. SteamOS is built on Arch so you can just… y’know, install shit on there.

Thx, I did not know about this one

Steam getting a cut isn’t a problem, it’s a well deserved rewsrd.
Another_earthling@lemmy.world 3 months ago
I wonder why you think that way? Do you know how high their cut is?

My Steam Deck has a 512GiB SD card full of pirated games using lutris and sega genesis and nintendo ds roms on it. it is more comfortable to just buy stuff and play, which i do with titles that are worth it (thats the internal memory for), but you are not limited in any way (except that it has to work on linux)

You can still install other game stores such as Epic or GOG and add games to the SteamOS gaming mode. Autoflatpak also works for that as well. I don’t have the steam copy of FFXIV but no issue, I added it to my library without issue.
