  It's very likely to become my most recent "doesn't need all my attention" game, as I always need one of those on deck (if you'll pardon the expression).

  Alright, I was probably going to play it anyway even with dips down to the low 20s. But if we're not even at the full release yet and the modding scene is already squeezing more out of that bottom 1%, I'm just biting the bullet and paying the damned game.

  For anyone in the same boat, Fanatical is selling the pre-release versions of the game for 17% off, packaged with a random "highly rated" Steam game.

  I read an article just this morning that said it's expected to release with version number 1.6.35 or something, meaning they been patching and updating it ahead of release. That's likely what the delays have been about — to polish it up in advance to avoid the kind of negative press that surrounded Cyberpunk 2077 at release, which came from a studio that had a great deal more goodwill from the community than Bethesda.

  Sure, if Valve ever releases it.

  The physical device itself is pretty stock, but I've been having a grand old time using Decky, specifically the CSS Loader plugin, to tweak the interface. Nothing extreme, but I have a little over a dozen CSS plugins installed that really make it shine now.

  I think suggesting that Valve need any given game (CoD) or even genre ("games like CoD) to remain successful to be silly at best. Of course Steam, the Steam Deck, and as a result Valve are only successful or even exist at all because of video game studios and publishers. But Call of Duty specifically? Nah man, it's a blip on the radar for Steam.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft claims: Steam Deck Did Not Need Call Of Duty To Succeed⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  While I disagree with your core argument about the success of the Steam Deck, I absolutely agree that I'd love to see a desktop variant of SteamOS become available for general use. To the point that I'd likely even finally make the leap from Windows.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft claims: Steam Deck Did Not Need Call Of Duty To Succeed⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  The article you've linked seems to say the opposite of what you're suggesting — that a second iteration of the Steam Deck is coming soon. That's not the impression I get from the linked article at all.

  Yeah, I'm gonna have to wait for a good sale before I can justify buying yet another game to add to my backlog. I still have entire franchises I want to finally get to.

  Best wishes to you and your dog, dear stranger.

  Nah, I think the article and the image are both AI generated, so the "author" of the article really has no idea what the image actually looks like.
