Comment on Steam Deck / Gaming News #21
boletus@sh.itjust.works 1 week agoPlease correct me if I’m wrong but isn’t this cheaper than their existing patreon subscription which is $5 a month? That would be $60 annually.
I’m still not going to pay for it when because I don’t think it’s a good practice in the open source scene but just want to put it in perspective.

AFAIU, the GOG extension was a perk that you received for a one-time payment ($6 iirc), and I believe there were two different ways to make that payment. Continous membership/subscription to patreon was not necessary.
Unfortunately, they seem to have completely wiped information regarding this from their website, I can’t find it there anymore.

Thanks for clarifying. Even more baffling why they’re doing this

Posted my response below to a similar comment in our discord server. Wanted to repost it here as I thought it was also relevant.
Thank you for the feedback.
While the GOG extension information was available on our website, we acknowledge it hadn’t been clearly highlighted. We’ve now made the full Decky-related content live on the site. It took us a bit longer than planned to migrate everything from the old site and the current wiki, as we wanted to ensure nothing was lost or overlooked in the process.
Before pushing it live, we took the time to review and check all content to make sure links were working, the information was accurate, and everything was easy to read and navigate. Our aim has been to bring everything together in one clear, accessible place.
That said, the same information has remained available and actively shared throughout - via our community wiki, in weekly Games Tested posts on Reddit, and through Discord. We understand it might not have been obvious to everyone, and that’s on us. We’re now working to make sure this kind of info is more consistently surfaced across all platforms, especially the main site.
Please also keep in mind that there are only two of us working on this project - and as you can imagine, we’re stretched pretty thin. While our developer focuses on building and improving Junk Store itself, I’ve been handling everything else: site updates, documentation, community support, and general project coordination. It’s been a steep learning curve, especially since my background is actually in high school teaching - specifically PE, Health, and Outdoor Ed.
We genuinely appreciate the feedback and are always looking to improve how we communicate and present information. If anything is still unclear or hard to find, we’d love to hear about it. Your input helps us ensure users don’t miss important updates, and that we’re growing in the right direction.
