What the heck

[Romonaga]

Waited a full week after you guys took my payment, than you send it the slowest way possible. One full week to get here, because you cheap A**es did not even bother to offer better shipping terms. Not impresses, and now after seeing the small supported titles I wonder if this things was worth all the wait and cost. Count me in as a very upset consumer.

Waited so long and you A**es could not even bother to ship as fast as you took my cash.

Well,maybe you should look into what you're buying before you give your money away. But for what it's worth, I can assure you if it's not an anticheat game it will most probably work on the Deck even if it's marked as Unsupported. ProtonDB[www.protondb.com] is your best friends for Steam games, Lutris[lutris.net] for anything else.

Seriously, I based a purchase on there advertisement. Waited a year, and see this very small subset of games that are marked as working with steam deck. As a Linux user I am well aware of PhotonDB and Lutris. However, not all games are playable under linux with these solutions. This is why the steamdeck seemed to fill the void. However, if they can not support the same number or more games than I currently can run under linux than it is useless to me. Do not advertise that MOST games will work with steamdeck when less than 30% currently do or need some tweaks to get working.

The good news is, I can resell the thing if it does not meet my needs.

So wait, you knew about the ProtonDB list and are upset the deck doesn't support more than what's on the list?

What?

about 1% of my games do not work on the steam deck.

Voting for the mod team to be much more strict in their moderation of these troll threads. Its getting cumbersome as of late.

So just like everyone else then pretty much.
It was a week for the controller, it was a week for the Steam Link.

So you presumedly bought it on a whim and did no research into anything is all i can gather from this? That's not Steam's fault in any case. It does all point to blatant trolling though.

Since when is a one week lead time on shipping a bad thing - outside of Amazon Prime, 3-5 business days is fairly standard shipping - even 5-10 business days is ok.

I like Amazon Prime next day shipping as much as the next guy, but it isn't realistic to expect companies outside of Amazon to have a network of Warehouses across the country that enable that type of service.

As for only having 1% of your library playable - that is a bummer, but there are always steam sales and you can get some more compatible games for fairly cheap all the time. I have 665 games and nearly 43% of them are currently playable - and that is up at least 10-15% from when I reserved at the end of July. More and more titles are becoming verified/playable all the time - so maybe some of your catalogue becomes playable in the next few months.

Also - with a little bit of research and trial/error you might find a percentage of games that are not currently supported actually are playable, as I have seen a number of games that are currently outside of Verified/Playable statuses running no issues on YouTube videos.

Valve has been really upfront on compatibility - and they give a tool right on the Steam Deck page to check your library before you reserve. It is always worth doing the research when buying a product to know what you are getting, it ensures your happiness with the product or it helps avoid being disappointed when it doesn't live up to baseless expectations.

It's weird, sometimes they just take an hour to straight up nuke a Thread (like the one asking if people are disappointed yet), and sometimes they stay up for Days.
I'm wondering what makes them react faster sometimes.

Cant be the amount of Reports alone, there were Threads up for more than a Day that must've gotten Tons of reports (Thread where people tried to sell their Account).

The reason for that nuke was because Guru has been banned here multiple times. He constantly spams threads in multiple Steam forums with his half page of incoherent rambling.

His recent thread just happened to contain a vieled threat to Valve employees.

So if someone has already kind of a "track record" it makes them react faster if he gets reported again? Would make sense. Maybe reports of a person like this are generally higher in the list for them to work through. I just assume they work based on reports alone.
