Today, Steam launched Steam Families.
The new system gets rid of limits on how many people can play games from one library, makes buying games for your kids easier, and adds new parental controls and sharing options.
Before, you needed to use two different systems - Family Sharing and Family View - if you wanted to share your library but limit which games your kids could play.
Also under the old approach, only one person at a time could play a game from another’s library. Now - to use Steam’s example - if you’re playing your copy of Portal 2 and someone else wants to play Half-Life from your library, that’s fine. They’ll only be booted if you start up Portal 2 while they’re playing it from your library.
You’ll need to be in the beta program to try it, which you can do by visiting Settings Interface Client Beta Participation and selecting “Steam Family Beta.” Then, to create a family, go to the Store page, click your account, then Account details Family Management Create a Family.
Accounts can share a library with five other family members, just as before, but there’s no mention of limits to the number of devices you can authorize. (It was capped at 10 before.)
Offline play is supported now, too, whereas the previous sharing scheme required you to be online to play games from someone else’s library.
A note of caution, though: the new system is region-locked, so if you’ve been sharing with someone in another country, you might not be able to continue doing so. And if someone leaves your family, they can’t join or start another one for a full year.
Steam says developers have to approve their titles for family sharing, while others, like free-to-play games or those requiring third-party keys, accounts, or subscriptions, can’t be shared.
The Deck Wins Again

Z1 ROG Ally is down from $599.99 to $399.99 at Best Buy for a limited time.
You can’t beat Steam Deck and SteamOS seems to finally be the worthy competitor to Windows it was meant to be

Correction, it's not 1 year after leaving the steam family, it's one year since you created or joined your current family, so you can't jump around to new families every day
Oh then it is practical none issue (at least for actual families, lol).
@@AndersHass yeah, the intended use :)
That a really good point!
Is this for every single Steam use case or only for steam deck users?
@@georgexander7170 all!
Yo when I first got my steamdeck lots of games ran like doodoo. After waiting a few months between plays and updating though.. Everything I originally couldn't really play comfortably now runs great and even on higher settings it's crazy.
Yeah I think it was like February of 2023 where the deck really got its MOJO together because I had some issues myself at first back in September 2022 then after a few months things really started to pop especially 3rd party apps like blizzard and EA. Now alot of EA games run without the work arounds and so do alot more games.
@@drew1921perfect timing, just ordered a deck
GTA is still kinda meh
@@ThatGuy-qg4wwwhy you say that
@@ThatGuy-qg4wwno way have you played gta 4 on it? Its like locked at 90 on oled
Corrections:
It's not 5 members in a family, it's 5 additional members in addition to the one who starts the family
And the limitations are to appease license holders
I picked up a Legion Go recently to compliment my OLED Steam Deck. Installed Bazzite Linux on it day one. Works 99% as well as the Steam Deck, with the extra horsepower. I can live without the bloated mess that is Windows 😂
Same! In fact it works flawlessly I'm thinking of selling my steam deck now..
Sounds like I will definitely have to install bazzite tonight!
@@AdonisDeonarine go for the 'deck' version on other handhelds, it boots in to game mode same as Steam OS. The other versions boot to desktop first.
when Steam OS becomes polished and readily available, its going to take over so many handheld console UIs. They are probably waiting for more handhelds to come out and then they are going to take over all of them lol
why? only reason I'd see having both is to play windows games that won't run on linux but if your just running linux it seems more a replacement for steam deck
You bring up a very good point regarding that. I mentor a Gen Alpha and all he has ever known was social based games like Fortnite. Suggesting that he tries a story based single person game like RDR2 is confusing to him. And you make a good point about the "going outside" point...
the analogy made my day!!! "this analogy gone too far". I was loving it too hahahaha
I love the new steam family because I have like 1500 games on steam and like to share them, think it's pretty neat that I can share them now while I play on steam myself
Always great info! Thank you for the content!
In our house we have pc each and steam deck each and there is a pc that did start out as a vr pc in living room so 4 steam accounts between 3 of us all have different games so this could be ideal for us to just use all the games between these accounts.
Could be a good send to my wallet lol
broo gamer family, lets gooo
Pretty sure the family sharing limitation and the 1 year block is to prevent 100s of accounts with 1 game (like the blackhat ones sold in RU) from becoming massive networks of account sharing/piracy. Not even factoring in like stolen CCs for those accounts, in some regions its actually cheaper to buy 1 game an acc and sell the acc to someone in the middle east etc. This is probably why this feature is also region locked rn.
Yea the use case of you using your steam deck and pc at same time is a protection factor to keep everyone from just using same account.
And the device limit looks like it's gone now as there's nowhere to manage devices anymore.
And the year thing is just to prevent family hopping. So you use family as it's intended.
Combine our resources? We're not doing that, my man. My fiancee and I buy enough games as it is. My plate is so damn full, I'm going to need a dinner tray to hold all the games we bought but haven't played yet. We play everything across all platforms and genres of gaming. From all current consoles (Series X, PS5, and Switch) PC gaming and Steam Deck, we love it all.
We just jumped in the Steam Deck playing field, and we both love it. It is the first console that I didn't pick up on day one since...2001 with the GameCube. You can bet I will be there on day one for the Steam Deck 2. I'm still blown away that you can play freaking Series X and PS5 games on our Steam Deck. I played Rise of The Ronin (brand new PS5 exclusive) on our Deck all last night, and it ran flawlessly. Now, I'm wondering if I can force the PS5 to play Ronin @60FPS on Fidelity Mode? The Steam Deck allowed me to force it into 60FPS while on Fidelity Mode, but I stupidly didn't look at the 4K TV when I did it. I'm trying it tonight.
Awesome video as always! I'm on the fence - my debit card is ready - but I'm wondering whether what the situation is with Remote Play? I want to play my heavily modded games such as W3 and FO4 and remote it into SteamDeck. But I couldnt find any video talking about multi-room latency. I'm thinking of the SteamDeck so maybe I can avoid doing sunshine and moonlight setups.
Some people have said that it is 1:1, little to no latency as long as you have Wifi 6? Are they being thruthful? Thank you.
No need to worry about Dragon's Dogma. Won't be possible due to the Denuvo Anti-Tamper.
Playing single player story driven games has been the best thing that's happened to me for gaming. My Steam Deck made me start emulating so much more. I enjoy PS1, PS2 and many more games now on such a great device.
Thank god. It's such a pain in the ass to play my steam deck and have my spouse play the steam deck and one of us have to turn online off for it to be possible. I wouldn't have bought two if I'd known when I got the second one. Glad it's not an issue now.
I've bouhgt an ROG ally in the first week. I never had too many issues with games, but I have since migrated back to the steamdeck. It is just so comfotrable to hold.
I haven't used my Steam Deck since I got the Ally, but I wonder what you guys' issues are. The Deck works fine, but I don't wanna be limited to just Steam.
@TheRealist1. Does the SD Card reader still have issues? How is the Rogue ally? Debating between that or Legion Go
I wish i was able to play two different games on the same library on the steam deck and the PC at the same time.
Same here
Dont make sense from the steam view.
@@nempk1817 why? do I own the games or do I not? cause if I own the games I should be able to do whatever I want same as physical. if I had two pcs and two different games on disc I could play them both at same time. its makes less sense for steam even since they want people to own a pc and steam deck.
@@sly2792004 "Two different games on disc", the thing is buying the game on one account is like having 1 disc.
My suggestion stop buying Steam games because you do not own them you can not download them to storage that you own. GOG is the only game store that lets you down load all your games to your own storage device. You want to run GOG on a steam deck run Linux and Heroic games Launcher.
The problem is most people thing Steam is great they are a walled garden just like Apple Epic Microsoft EA and so on. Give you money to GOG no DRM and you own what you pay for. If the game you want does not come to GOG is this a game you really want a game that you will never own.
GOG does not stop you from playing the game on as many devices as you won. I play the same game on my Gaming PC my TV PC and a laptop. Same game purchased once. Just do not use GOG Galaxy just download the game and install. Not of fan of most game Launchers, but I do love Heroic games Launcher on Linux works great
This is my personal opinion.
When is the deck getting Fluid Motion Frames?
i really hope they fix the UI on deck for family mode with this new update too... previously it was a horrible passcode thing that didn't even properly bring up the virtual keyboard. I just want it to use the same PIN to unlock system as the one you can set to go to desktop mode!
7:01 actually it's better than that, because a family member can 'request' that you buy a game for them, so it gets added to their account, like a streamlined version of the steam gifting system
So when it comes to single player games. If I get the new Indiana Jones game, the other person can’t play it while I’m playing it ? Or that’s just for multiplayer games
I finally got the xbox version of Banjo to run it's full game instead of trail,gonna be a good time for the road back into town after easter.
Would be interesting if Steam integrated an OPT-IN for Devs to let people play 2 instances of the same game for multiplayer purposes. Think; With split-screen being all but gone in modern games it would be cool to see Devs offer that same kind of experience through family-sharing. Games can market on that while also preventing players from garnering in-game stats to prevent the overuse of the feature.
I am a great fan of Steam Decks and now have both the LCD and OLED models, but recent ASUS ROG Ally discounts (as low £529.00 in the UK for a new Z1 Extreme model) is seriously tempting me to buy one and play some of the games in my Steam library that need a little more performance than the Steam Deck has to offer to play well. When venders such as ASUS and Lenovo start to heavily discount, it is usually an indication that they are trying to shift stock ahead of releasing a new model, so perhaps an ASUS ROG Ally 2 will be with us in the next couple of months. Using a Windows gaming handheld is like running the Steam Deck permanently in desk top mode, but there are software tools and configuration changes that improve the experience, which I discovered when I first got into Windows handheld gaming almost five years ago with my GPD Win 2. But Steam Deck gaming mode is still the best handheld gaming experience so far.
can the deck (at least the oled) emulate the ps3/switch/dreamcast well and or also play blizzard games like wow or d3 or d4? bc that seems like the biggest reason to buy an rog ally or lenova etc.
(ease of use too for emulating those, some installs are easier or harder than others)
Even the LCD Deck can flawlessly emulate Switch, Dreamcast, Wii, Wii U, GameCube, etc. Depending on the game, even with boosted resolutions. I emulate these since day 1 of unpacking my Deck.
I haven't tested PS3 emulation, but X360 emulation (same generation and direct competitor) works very very well.
Never played WoW ever, but saw several videos of people playing on Deck without a problem. Also plenty of mods available to make the game plays like native using the deck controllers, without needing much mouse/trackpad movement.
Have played D3 and D4 and they both run at high/ultra no problem.
There's also a Linux Flatpack called EmuDeck which installs and optimally configures every emulator that you choose in a matter of a couple minutes. So zero hassle to install and configure any emulation software (apart from Citra and Yuzu currently, because of Nintendo). Just a couple of clicks here and there and you're all set.
thanks :)@@alanMdC
@@saiyan_princestudios9790 no problem
What's the main emulator for 360 these days!? I've never tried that one but almost every other system. We'll I still need to get MAME going. LOOOVE Dreamcast games, like hardcore. ❤
7:10 I heard that it was opt out for developers. It’s that correct?
It is indeed defaulted to being on and developers must specifically go in and opt out. Which imo is a great choice. This family sharing is so great for consumers I’d honestly consider it a big red flag if any developer chose to opt out. Just my opinion.
@@maddoggaming1171Thank you for clarifying.
Honestly what I really want is for valve to finally start selling the steam deck touchpads as replacement parts. That’d be really cool.
Assuming this works only in the same house? Like if my brother is in the same city can this still work?

@@klausschwab11 Enjoy the best of both worlds.... become a Doomer, today
I'm good with my OG Steam Deck for awhile. Maybe upgrade in 2026 if something amazing comes out.
I really love my ROG Ally, but always keeps my eye out on Steam Deck news, waiting for the time when a possible Steam Deck 2 is released with (hopefully) equal to more power than the z1 extreme
What's your experience been like? Debating between ROG Ally or Legion Go. I have heard the SD card has issues on the ROG ally.
i don't get it, I could already share the games on my account, and with people in a different country. Now it has all these limitations. My son could already play my games on his PC. Someone explain how this is an improvement or something new?
I have the rog ally not exstrem version and I play my Xbox and PC games on it just fine I also used ps remote (berry little just to test )
But I have used it for steam VR with oculas 2 which is ok way better than I ever thought it would be
Nobody has issues unless they got a dud... In that case return it.
"I don't know if there are that many people with a steam deck, multiple gaming PCs and something like the Legion Go..."
oof 😅
I like my Deck but I love my Legion Go. Can't believe I can do all these things on a hand held regardless of which I use.
Legion is nice
Handhelds aRe getting VERY GOOD VERY FAST. Steam deck is still King yet I'm keeping my eyes peeled for others these next few years. Even the LOGITECH G CLOUD, super good looking
The fact that devs need re enable family sharing is a huge issue too, this basically blocks most games from being shared...
Just to clarify your region locking and 'changing a family' points you made from 4:30. The region locking is in place as Family Sharing is designed for households. The 1 year wait to join a new family is counted from joining the previous family group, not leaving the previous family group. Which means you could technically join a new family straight from leaving a previous one, but this will reset the one year timer from that point. As you said, both of those rules are in place to prevent abuse of the system.
"I am not afraid of a game that ends" -recent Magneto quote, maybe paraprased some
Aghhhh' I'm sooooooo, aggravated with my deck I'm having to update the games everyday or every other day?! Is this normal?
Is there something wrong????
I've noticed with the latest update on steam app.
Please help 😭🥺 thank you
5:06 the issue is not server overload, but that the games business model arent based on an unlimited number of people playing an game with a single purchase, companies chose how much they will charge based on how many copies they plan to sell, if most people chose to borrow games to friends instead of their friends purchasing the same game that can affect sales and companies will nave no option but to raise the prices, reduce their margins or in some cases go bankrupt.
valve may not care about that, gamers may not care about that, but if thirdy party developers arent happy with steam they might pull then to put on other stores like epic, so valve have to make some comprossides that benefit developers rather than users.
He needs to look up the definition of the word "family" because the reasoning behind these limitations is right there in the name...
If Microsoft released a version of windows with the xbox gui as the shell and not explorer.exe, it would have a chance against the steamdeck, as it is now, not so much
It is so true though, the only games im playing are indies like lightyear frontier. And what happened to these last 2 console generations? There are no new ip's except for a few like spiderman that came out on ps4. But other than that is remasters and remakes and sequals. This is why I bought a steam deck, i already have the best gaming pc money can buy but i use steam deck as my console experience
What's a gen alpha?
Omg it’s Jimmy Champagne! Stand Down sir
For the rog ally wait a littlle while. One will show up on Facebook marketplace place for 300$. I only want one so i can put chimera os on it.
You know this how?
@@TheRealist1. Well they did reduce the price by like 230$ at bestbuy which is a lot for a newer console. Also I see them on Facebook marketplace for between 325$- 375$ a lot. I see more Allys than steam decks.
This new Family share update is wild. Just the past weekend I got to experience first hand how shitty the old system was. Now I can play Helldivers while my nephew plays party animals just as Gaben intended.
all good, but why would you want a valve os on normal PC? It is just an arch linux, I'm running linux on my gaming pc no issues and there is little point of having valve flavored distro there. They push upstream as well so all the goodies are there for everyone to pick up.
Jimmy, since you’re a Helldivers2 enjoyer. Can I ask you, if you recommend it for steam deck only play? Reddit is not helpful. Cheers!
No, I would play on PS5 if you have it
I’m interested in steam deck becuz I don’t pc game but theirs a few but I can run emulators so not just pc but consoles , few pc games from 90s, quake, age of empires, Star Wars tie fighter, top gun hornets nest few other small ones few flight sims
Just go get one of the cheaper Chinese handhelds if you just wanna emulate.
@@TheRealist1.disagree, dont limit yourself from what you will want in the future
I Wana get a portable PC but I heard the steam can't ay cod is this true?
I oerfer to run windows as it allows for any and everything I do on a laptop to be done on a handheld. The Steam Deck is absolutely no comparison in that respect.
And I have no problem using Windows as the handheld I even dock my rog with a $20 dock from Walmart and play whatever I want including PC games with a keyboard and mouse it's Bluetooth I chose my Ally after playing both a steam deck and ally is a gamer who doesn't care what platform is playing on but leans towards Xbox and PC I have no problem with it
its not like its hard to go into offline mode, all you have to do is turn off your wifi....
I bet ther’ll be guys with a large steam library, start renting access to their library. Monthy subscription
I really need a valve to add a feature on the Steam de It’s better magnification for the visually impaired Know the Nintendo has that
The year limit is so people dont sell access to their accounts it. Kind of like what people do with Plex
So you brought up a very interesting/touchy subject for me in this video about offline mode... i know you are not used to probably hearing this but there are some people out there like me who only want offline games... for my kids i literally do not want them having access to the online gaming vulgar communities and having yelling matches instead of playing a game... i want my steamdeck to work offline ultimately indefinetly... and ive done some research and everything i've found on steam suggests that it just works and you say that we might have to log-in after a while, similar to Blizzard/Activision launcher games requiring that you log into starcraft atleast once every 60 days... ngl i need to know if i would lose the ability to boot a game 12+ months offline mode in the event that something happens to steam even, god forbid. please make a video or segment that goes in-depth for me about this topic please! TY!
And yes, i am aware certain games, that require a SEPERATE LAUNCHER like GTAV typically will break if you don't login via the steam back-end within 60 days, but typically alot of games don't have a seperate launcher... so i've currated a list already... and i'm thousands in... please tell me i'm not wasting my money here.
Best place to buy steam deck or refurbished steam deck?
Unless you are talking about buying a used one locally I thought only valve sells them. I don't recall any seperate retailers selling them, except for in Asia.
@@TheDarthChungus Assuming you can find one. They're kind of like GPUs during covid. If someone is selling one for a non-inflated price, I'd be suspicious.
eBay, I'm about to put mine up now. It's new though.
Steam sells refurbs in the store when they're available.
@@freelancerthe2561CEX has a ton of them
To be in a second family it's a year from when you joined the first family not when you left the first family.
Just a slight correction: ffvii rebirth isn't selling well because of the bizarre time ghost garbage fanfic story in remake, not because of multiplayer games
Give us an option to run KH games with epic launcher with out any cutscene issues and I'm good.
The latest nvidia drivers completely broke my Linux installation on my RTX 2070 super so i get now why Valve is so hesitant about releasing SteamOS for everyone, most gamers have Nvidia graphics cards and they would not have a good experience with it
This is an important lesson to learn. Generally speaking, when things are working well, do not update drivers or OSes.
They are dropping the price because ASUS has said the ROG Ally 2 is coming out later this year lol
The new family stuff is cool, but it's just stuff you'd be able to do with traditional physical copies that they should've been allowing the whole time. You can lend your disc/cartridge to your friend to play in their own system, but two people can't play at the same time (without making a copy). The fact that you still can't sell your Steam games is annoying. Yes there's the refund system, but sometimes you go over that 2 hour or 2 week limit or whatever without really even getting into the game and then you're just kinda stuck with some game you don't like (maybe you left it open, maybe you idled for cards which put you over the minimum in all your games, maybe you just wanted to take more than 2 hours to tell if you really liked it). If these were physical games, you could go sell that game on eBay, but with Steam you're at the mercy of Valve to let you refund it or not, and in a best-case scenario you'll get what you paid for it back, often meaning the price of the game on-sale, whereas if you had bought a physical game on sale at GameStop or WalMart, you could sell it for more on eBay than you paid for it. It could help fund you getting more games that you might actually like. These are the things they're taking from us with the push to digital-only.
The owner of the game getting banned if the person borrowing it gets banned *plus* the fact that if multiple people in the family have the game you can't pick which person you're borrowing from is pretty nasty, especially combined. If you have some young kids or irresponsible people linked to you, it's like you're gambling on someone getting banned. They could ban the person who was actually playing instead, maybe even not let them borrow that game from other people anymore. As it is it sounds like you could borrow a game, get banned in that game, screwing over the owner, then go buy the game yourself and play as if you'd never been banned...
I definitely think we should signal to Valve that we like and appreciate these improvements, but it also feels like some people are overly enthusiastic when it's like we're slaves getting a bit more time outside the dog house. We're simplying getting closer to what should've been the minimum. And that's not even getting into the fact that there's no reason for the physical problem of scarcity to be replicated with digital goods when we could all have infinite copies of digital goods without the original being harmed or removed.
With the ability to move copies of games around, it would also be nice if people could have multiple copies of games. I have two physical copies of Splatoon 3 for Switch, so if a friend brings their Switch over I could let them use my extra cartridge and we could play together. This use-case is kinda missing even with the new Family features. This would be especially cool for LAN party settings where someone who regularly hosts could have several copies of a multiplayer game. The 1 year delay on changing families kinda gets in the way of that use-case as well. Realistically you could circulate a cracked copy for LAN play with some friends, but it'd be neat to have a more legitimate route as well.
They need to just put Steam OS on the ROG Ally!
Perhaps they're limiting moving between families to make it harder to share with friends. I could imagine guys switching families each time they want play a game that their current family doesn't have.
3:11 let me know if it’s possible please if anybody else tried it, I would love to share my library with my partner
Is steamdeck ever going to be able to play Call of Duty without work around?
Literally depends only on the developer's choice to make it work natively. So we can't tell for sure.
Probably not
Family comes first😅
Can you play Madden on the steam deck? Thanks in advance
Nope, that's why I play on the Ally. You can try rigging different apps in desktop mode, but I just wanna play. It doesn't play well with other launchers, EA and some Ubisoft need to go through their launchers.
@@TheRealist1. Thank you
6 family limit sorry to correct you😅
I am the person who bought the Legion Go on launch day. Played the hell out of it. We got the Steam Deck OLED. It was over. I was about to sell my Legion Go until I did a dual boot of Steam OS (Bazzite/Linux) My god. It’s incredible. Proving the device has power and screen. Windows is trash. That’s a bummer. If I need it, I can always dual boot to windows for anti cheat games. My legion go is my main device again!
What issues do you have with Windows?
@@TheRealist1. Lack of performance on many games, not enough updates or controls for the hardware with legion space, hibernation mode being too slow or not working consistently, games not launching properly (resolution), and many games crashing
its really annoying I can't play two pc steam games at same time. like if I have 2 discs on ps4 I can play them both on two ps4s at same time. thought digital was suppose to be easier for customers. I get not playing same game on two devices at same time.
"I want to learn Windows" - oh wow. We are doomed.
Handheld PCs are they way of the future when it comes to an affordable way to game. I don't think I'll be buying any more consoles, certainly no Microsoft or Sony consoles.
The risk here, if your friend or family that has access to your shared games baneed, the owner of the game will be banned as well.
man the rog ally part is just wrong. windows works perfect on the device never gave me any issues. i used to be team steamdeck until i got the ally and aside from ergonomics the rog is the better handheld. the only thing steam deck did better was running saints row 2, literally only 1 game ... anyone who wants a handheld should get a rog, u wont regret it
Damn!
You ALMOST made it with saying Xbox, lol
Oh well....
The Rog Ally is by far the best windows based handheld out there it’s fantastic and it has matured so much in the time that it’s been out.
Legion Go is the superior device.
@@LinenAssociate only in screen size. I have owned both. I absolutely love the screen size but i ended up going back to the Ally as it’s more comfortable to hold for more than an hour. And VRR it honestly a must for these devices. I am looking forward to what Lenovo have in store for the go or go2. I’m just happy this segment is taking off at all lol. You really can’t go wrong.
Sigh time to buy more steam stock 😂
I don't think the SteamOS will ever come out, Valve can tailor the OS and the proton libraries to the fixed Deck hardware like a console, the moment you introduce an infinite amount of hardware combinations, more compatibility problems will surface and people will go crazy on Valve, it's an uphill battle for them. Another point is, what will they do with distribution? Will they charge for a system that Linux enthusiasts can download for free, just because the can update the system and make you "safer" like Windows? If they release it for free, suddenly every portable PC is a Steam Deck now. This is also a point I make for the Xbox Portable, Microsoft would never make Windows lighter when they can just make their own portable run the Xbox OS, they already have the Series S hardware, which is very small, they could make it even smaller.
I would love to be wrong about SteamOS, but that is dangerous for the Steam Deck itself and Valve knows it
Ngl I’m pretty happy about rog ally dropping in price and being returned because of all the crap Ally fans dropped on us - owners of steam decks.
I would buy Final Fantasy if it was on steam, I'm really tired of third party exclusives that complain about sales. No way in hell am i buying a PS5 an XBOX and keeping my PC up to date enough.
Square knows this now...
My gf is overseas atm so they killed it basically for us
Think this dude is mistaken...Word is Devs will need to opt OUT of family sharing option. Now.. What Dev wants to go back to old projects to opt in for family sharing? When a Dev. Doesn't have to worry bout opt IN's and OUT's it saves them the headaches. And they can continue with their new projects rather worry bout the lil things..

My only problems with the rog ally and eventually had to send it back was the bad os and poor battery life.
That isn't why Final Fantasy Rebirth isn't selling. It's not selling as well because they didn't give people what they wanted. They promised a remake not a convoluted sequel, and the end of Remake said it'd basically be whatever they felt like making now. I personally want nothing to do with that.
Also IMO, Remake was so stretched out to make one small part a 'full game' that I was sick of playing it and its fetch quests by the end, so even if it did stick to the original story, I didn't want any more of that.
Its an absolute slog fest, worst open world game in ages
What they need to fix is all the games that unsupported like call of duty warzone yeah it’s good that they fix family share even tho I’m not going to be that guy who shares my games I don’t trust anyone when it comes down to my game or my account also that good that they updated it every time but come on I want to play call of duty and other games that unsupported I don’t want to download windows on my steam deck I feel like it’s too much work and when I look at videos on it I just feel like everything they do is too fast and I never could find a update video on how to get windows on my steam deck I just want them to fix this problem because every game should be running on steam if it runs on pc then make it work on steam deck because I’m not spending no more money on a new handheld heck no I don’t like windows on steam it’s a lot of problems around it too much work i just wish valve would fix this problem already and I feel like most people will agree with me on that it’s good that they keeping up to date with the steam deck and all but what really needs to be fixed is the unsupported game that can’t be played on steam deck fix that problem than focus on updating the steam deck can do way more and mind you I feel like the steam deck is doing way better than console right now Xbox and PlayStation also Nintendo and what Sony should do is work on bringing PlayStation plus cloud gaming to pc and steam if Xbox won’t give valve xcloud on steam then maybe Sony should think about making some changes plus it will make them millions more dollars if I was them I would think big instead of small that just me I would like to know what other think about that too
steam family sharing has been abused for botting. i think that's why the changes are there. from my experience its been used to bot on last epoch.
Breathe, damnit!

Knowing microsoft they will release a streaming tablet for Xbox game pass. Bull crap if you think it will be a full fledge pc.
Not sure this is accurate. My understanding was that the ROG Ally was coming out with an ROG Ally 2 soon, so the discount on the first version is probably to move those left overs out of inventory to clear the way for the second version. All the people giving the SD OLED version crap though did get screwed if a new version is already coming out as their supposedly better handheld is already obsolete.
yeah they said ally 2 is coming this year. probably round fall id guess.
Valve fanboys are just like console fanboys... They want to claim victories for Valve. Instead of considering the fact that the Ally is selling fine and is adding a new model, they claim victory.
I've not seen an open box at the Best Buy stores near me so i doubt he's seeing it.
anyone bricked their SD card here?

But there’s still a ton of games that can’t be played on steam natively. And it SUCKS
