Pretty much the same titles over and over again.
I’ll never not be shocked at BG3 because it runs potato quality but to each their own, I suppose.

Agree. AAA titles aren’t suited to run on a Deck and should be streamed from a PC with remote play…but I this k this is the appeal of having the games in a portable format, that people are willing to put up with such shit performance.
1 yearIt really depends on the specific game, many older AAA games or non-unreal games run fine.
It’s also interesting seeing how some games run much better now than they did on release. CP2077 (non-dlc parts) runs pretty well now for example, much better than it did when the Deck first came out.

Runs fine on mine but it definitely runs it at a weird res and upscales to maintain performance

I can’t say I’ve ever cared about how a game looks.* Sure maybe it’s worth discussing, but it’s always the last thing on my list.
I played BG3 (Once, all the way, second time up to act 2) exclusively on my Steam Deck in handheld mode. Sure Act 3 has a little bit of lag, but nothing that ever bothered me. All the characters in the game were unique, I know Gale from Karlach from Lae’zel.

Fair enough. Certainly some devs spend a ton of time making games look incredible so there’s obviously a bunch of users like me who do appreciate that, and also many who don’t!

I wouldn’t say don’t.
If your game can’t look good on the lowest settings then there’s an art-direction problem, not that BG3 has that issue.

Define “fine”. Is it playable? Sure. But it also looks quite bad at 800p/low/30fps

Oh right, had just assumed it’s 720p because the width is 1280. So it isn’t 16:9, which is nice but slightly surprising!
The default settings look pretty bad, but with some setting changes you can get it to look a lot better without sacrificing too much performance.
It’s not really the type of game that has to run at a solid 60 FPS or anything.

it’s fascinating how the “top selling” that is measured by “gross revenue” has so many “free to play” games on the top. ahhh the aggressive gambling tactics

Warframe is there and everything in the game can be unlocked for free, its a grindy looter shooter that rose against the odds and is a shining examplen of f2p, the story is like 11/10, it is on another level

a game can be good and have predatory gambling mechanics inside of it. in fact making a game people want to play more of, enables those mechanics to work on a larger number of people
I really dislike the way they hide the original prices on Steam now and you have to open the store pages to find the original price.
I think it even goes against some consumer rules here in Europe.
(I think they even didn’t have the original price visible for a while)
I think it’s something to do with it being or not being the largest discount in the last X days (maybe 90 days? I’m not sure)

No, this is pro-consumer. Showing the original price and the “X% off!” sign is price anchoring designed to make you think you’re getting a great deal and to make you feel urgency to buy it now. It’s why we all have such giant collections of unplayed games.
