But they answered the question. Valve can only guarantee that games are compatible with Steam Overlay compatible games. They don't want to commit to a "yes" or "no" for stuff outside Steam, and then be liable for that answer if it does not work as advertised and then get sued to the ground. So you cannot blame them.
I don't know on Windows, but on Linux you most likely can use the controller to play on any game. It's just not supported and guaranteed by Valve.
I purchased mine for full price too. Unfortunately I do not like it for various reasons. Missing dpad and second stick, and holding it is a bit uncomfortable to my hands. And at the early days Steam Input wasn't this refined. But I loved using it to play with gyro controls. But will keep it, its history. :-)
The new controller is based on the Steam Deck controls and vastly superior to me (if we assume its like that). I can't imagine you don't liking it as much as the old controller.
To be honest, I think the forums in Steam are a good addition, and worth having it. And in my opinion every game store should have such a community feature builtin.
Some of us have already been burned by EPIC and we aren’t going back.
First they took Linux support away from my Rocket League and then completely away from Steam. I don't know how the current state is, but that was a huge burn for me. There are and were other issues too, this is just the one I am most angry about.
On Steam https://store.steampowered.com/app/1449110/The_Outer_Worlds_2/ the lowest price it had was 2 month ago (approx. 1 year after release on Steam I think) at 30% cut, which is 49 Euros down from 70. So it might take another 6 or even 12 months before going lower than that.
The key is, Nintendo produces more Switch 2 on release than Switch 1. Also when Switch 1 got released, nobody knew how hot it would be, as the last console prior to it was the Wii U flop. So given those two points, its only logical that the Switch 2 sells more on launch than the Switch 1 did. The question is, how long this will last.
4090 = 0.76% + 5090 = 0.37% is approx. 1.7% of the entire Steam player base. Is that true? That is a lot for such expensive hardware. How is streaming from Nvidia GeForce Now calculated? My theory is, that a good chunk of them are streaming and don't actually own the cards. I wish GeForce Now would be listed too as a platform, at least for those who log into their Steam account in the streaming service.
Are we talking about strictly Tetris concept only? Or any game that goes in that direction? Or about all games with "Tetris" in the name? And how far is it allowed to go, until its no longer Tetris? Have a look at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Tetris_variants
I grew up with Tetris on the original Game Boy from 1989. So I have a sweet spot for that game. There is Tetris & Dr. Mario on the SNES, which combines both games. I have so many memories with a friend playing a mixed mode where both games are played in a session. If we count anything that has Tetris in the name, then it's Tetris Attack on the SNES for me.
There are also Tetris variants I never played too much, but I think they would have been classics for me too. Tetris Battle Gaiden on SNES looks interesting and fun. Lot of people say Tetris The Grand Master (1 or 2) on Arcade (and later ported to other systems) might be the best version, but I never played it.
In short, I don't know how to answer this question. And I couldn't with a certainty either I think.
Still requires people to go to shady websites with bad advertisement and maybe even virus infected sites. Then download games for free and have a bad feeling about it. But that is not even the worst part. They have to know which emulator to download (hopefully from a safe place), know how to install and configure it. Also no integrated features like achievements (I know about RetroAchivements..., but that is another thing) or Cloud saves. The versions on GOG offer some additional features and options like No encounter rates or battle assist in example.
All in all, I personally prefer playing the games on emulators and download Roms since early 2000s without feeling bad about it. In fact I feel good. But not everyone is me.
No, the Krohkite addon doesn't have a configuration window to change shortcuts in the Kwin scripts section. And there is no need for anyway, as all shortcuts are in a central place of KDE shortcuts.
BTW back in KDE 5 I did that, used an alternative tiling window manager (I think it was i3wm) instead KWin. It worked, but it had its own set of problems. Not sure if it is still possible, but based on my prior experience I wouldn't recommend it anyway. Instead the tiling script / addon Krohkite should be used, as people recommend. I use it myself (and I am a tiling window manager guy) and it works well, as it is well integrated and smooth experience in KDE.
