That smells like desperation to get a higher playercount and paypiggies
Hell freaking yes! This was like...the only major barrier preventing me from permanently moving my desktop over to Linux from Windows. Now I need to check if I can get my Mbox to work and I'm golden.
If by Mbox you mean the sound device; I recently tried out Linux PopOS and my Mbox 2 Mini worked without a problem right from the Start
I am. Mines a 3, so idk how that translates over. But I would likely be using Pop as well, so that's promising.
It was a little tricky setting up for me, since I couldn't get heroic to work on my computer. I will use steam in a hearbest though, much easier.
Damn it. Just when I bit the bullet and bought Diablo 4 on Battlenet. I bet whenever they launch Diablo 4 on Steam, they'll not just transfer my license it to Steam.
Edit: FWIW I'm using the Battlenet launcher with Lutris, and so far it's far less problematic than Epic. Hasn't yet forgotten my log in and asked for password again like Epic does every few days which is super annoying (pretty sure this is how they operate on Windows also).
I feel you on this. I'll be annoyed if they don't offer some kind of migration.
Wouldn't you be fighting against other PC players? Good luck attempting to fight kb+m players on joysticks.
You can plug a mouse and keyboard into a Steam Deck.
yes but why would you? I mean I guess if it's literally your only device but most steam deck users are going to have another computer.
I can play some other game on it as a handheld on the train and then dock it at my destination. A Steam Deck is also a really cheap computer that will still run most games.
Sure but if you are putting into a dock then you probably have a larger screen and a full desk setup. If it's your only device then it makes sense but if you have another computer with monitors already then it doesn't. I'm mainly talking about using Bluetooth to hook up a mouse and keyboard and to somehow work off that small screen far away from you. If you put it in a dock then you've essentially just turned it into a computer with monitors and anything else. So most of the time if you have monitors you are likely to have a whole other computer that's likely to be more powerful than the deck. The deck is a powerful handheld but weak computer.
You probably do have that other setup, but there's no reason we should say that my portable situation isn't worth it. I'm not an Overwatch player, but I'm a fighting game player. I'm not playing those games competitively with the controls on the device, but with a portable monitor that fits in my backpack, I can set it up at my destination and use my Snackbox Micro when I get off the train.
I very specifically said if it's your only device. I'm not dunking on your setup or saying it's not worth it. I'm saying it only seems worth it to me if you have an extra monitor and no other computer around. Which you say is the exact case you are in.
I play in a party of four, most times. Two of us on KB/M, two on controller. No problems.
Maybe competitive in bronze rank lol
Some gamepad player are really good. Especially in Overwatch, which has characters like Mercy, Moira or Reinhardt that can provide value even without good aim.
Though Overwatch doesn't have aim assist on pc, so it's probably difficult even for most experienced gamepad players.
Gaming on the GNU/Linux operating system.
