Sure, I didn't mean that it's a standalone console.

However, at $1050 USD, there's many people who won't be buying this standalone console either.

It would have made more sense to release both at the same time, that way people who are turned off by the $1050 USD (or more) price tag would at least have something they could buy from Valve instead.

Hell, I'd buy a new Steam Link that supports H265 and isn't capped to 1080p at 60 FPS.

The Steam Link did not have H265 supported in streaming settings IIRC.

The Steam Link was capped to 1080p at 60 FPS.

Those are some serious hardware limitations.

They could have easily refreshed it at the time.

It's too expensive, it's just not a good idea for them to have released this. Honestly, they probably should have delayed it for 1-2 years or likely even cancelled it outright.

What they should have done is made a new Steam Link with more capable hardware for cheap. That would have sold like hotcakes.

People don't want to pay $1050 USD for 16GB of RAM and a 512GB SSD. People can't afford to be casually dropping money like that in this economy.

Gabe is helping, sure, but he isn't holding up gaming. People were gaming on Linux before Proton even existed, myself included. Also, even if Valve went away completely, Proton is open-source and there are people like GloriousEggroll who work on Proton entirely as a community member. Proton will live on, specifically because it is open-source. All the progress made on Proton won't suddenly disappear, all the games that were previously playable on Proton will still be playable on Proton.

It's a somewhat reasonable fear but it's not a realistic fear. Proton isn't going anywhere.

Nah, I won. We won. We found better platforms like Lemmy, Mastodon, and KBin.

I'm not going back to reddit, there's simply no need.

We have that, it's called a fridge, and then there's a freezer for making things frozen.

Maybe they shouldn't have invaded Ukraine.

This is why I refuse to pay for YouTube. They are literally actively making the experience worse, rather than trying to make the paid experience better. This is laughable.

Yeah, I can imagine having a mother like that would make it so that you can't enjoy life, damn.

If you save it on your computer instead of on their servers, how could they possibly be expected to analyze your data? Come on now, be reasonable!

What an incredibly kind move by the Terraria developers. This is part of why Terraria is awesome!

Can't wait for them to be hit with their 0.1% fine.

As is tradition.

An ad blitz doesn't matter if your product is junk. Make something that isn't garbage if you want to retain people, people want good products.

Likely they have proprietary or otherwise private information they want to clean out first, or they want to make it more presentable or documented.

I agree I'm not a fan of the "trying to" phrasing either.

Don't worry, I'm sure they'll increase the price to make up for it.

5 minutes later and it's 843k, almost 1k signatures per minute, not bad at all!
