Gabe Newell on NFTs and Steam's ban on NFT games is pretty incredible. Read the whole answer, but here's a blunt excerpt “The people in the space, though, tend to be involved in a lot of criminal activity and a lot of sketchy behaviours.” https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/ ...

here's our Steam Deck review from @StarFire2258. It's powerful high-quality hardware, with infinitely customizable controls for PC games. Unfortunately it has unfinished and buggy software, and the noisy fan almost never stops whining. Review here: https://t.co/9OlU7kh519 https:/…

The Steam Deck isn't done. It's a mess. I love it anyhow. I'm buying one. Why? It's groundbreaking. https://www.theverge.com/... https://twitter.com/...
