Is the winter sale better than the sales happening right now? There are some games that I’m eyeing but I don’t know if it makes sense to wait to get them now. For example the devil may cry HD edition of the ps1/ps2 era.
Here it says the discount is always the same for the past year, so you can expect the price for this sales will be the same as the next. Though for some game they will have discount for one sales but not the other, and some only join in for the big 4 season sales. If the price is right for now, just get it.
I don’t care if it makes me sound like a grumpy old man, but I really miss the old sales where stuff would be steeply discounted for like an hour and then would go back to a normal discount. All the sales now are basically Black Friday bullshit type sales
Yeah, same. 90% discount is really a steal back then, but then i guess it makes sense because these sort of flash sales is only advantageous for people on one side of the planet and the other side will never get to see any sales.
I agree to a point. I also miss the excitement of those flash sales, but they were probably predatory–like gambling or FOMO–and I greatly prefer the modern game return policies—arguably what killed off those flash sales–which I can enjoy all-year round.
I’ve been holding off on the most recent sales just in case something on my wishlist is even slightly cheaper during the Winter Sale.
I, probably like most Steam customers, still have unplayed games from previous sales. I definitely don’t need to add to that even though I’m itching to try Dave the Diver and more. I can wait 12 more days.
Well, at least that one works. Though gotta remind this: There are games in Linux category and they suppose to work as a native game however a handful of games don’t work at all due to their one time Linux port by another studio. Usually using Proton fix this issue but this is not something you want so take this as an advice and check the game on ProtonDB and see if the native version of the game you wanna buy works correctly. Also there are many cases of games that using Proton runs better than their native version.
You need to sign into meta yes, which sucks, but it might be possible to keep the headset offline. It would mean no steam link but sideloading (and thus piracy) is easy as hell on quest.
It would be nice if they fix VR for linux. It’s been broken for me ever since the 2.0 update so ofc I’m not gonna be buying more games if I can’t even play them.
Steam supports this natively. In the steam desktop client, click your profile in the top right and push “Account details” now scroll down to “PLATFORM PREFERENCES” and uncheck windows.
I think it’ll be really difficult, if not impossible, to hide all Windows-only games, as I believe Steam will still show Deck-verified games and other games that run on Proton well. ProtonDB lets you exclude Linux-native games, so if they have that information, there may be another service somewhere that lets you filter to only include native games, but I don’t know of one.
