    Lol how about bringing Game Pass to Macs, iPads, the Deck and so on. You know, before hell freezes over. The difference being that Valve and Apple might actually welcome it. I really don’t see Sony and Nintendo ever agreeing to it. 😂

      Valve can’t really stop it. The Deck’s just linux under the hood. That’s a big part of why I bought it.

      But the way people have to bend over backwards to get Game Pass running on it kinda sucks. I’m a sub, and when I open the Deck I’m already dreading how much of a headache it’ll be.

        Wait, it actually works? I thought the UWP base was a non-starter.

        I’d maybe consider subbing every so often if it supported Linux. I’d more seriously consider it if it supported Steam Deck with a decent UI. But I’m not going to bend over backwards for a service I’m paying monthly for, that’s just silly.

          As @conciselyverbose@kbin.social said, streaming works.

          Unlike him, however, I’ve had a fair bit of luck streaming (on my computer. The Deck is my Christmas present from my wife). Starfield of all games. Good framerate, usually low controller-latency. That streaming thing is finally starting to improve. Finally.
