Honestly, i have no qualms with the original steam curator. All he did was point out that SBI was involved in the game or not. People have the right to buy or not buy a product for whatever reason. The curator and its group would have remained obscure and practically irrelevant if one SBI employee didn't call for harassment against Kabrutus on twitter. All they had to do was to let people quietly not buy games they were not interested in but they called for mob justice on the curator. And i can't help giving the gamer side just a tiny drop of legitimacy this time because every article on the whole debacle forgets that this is what sparked the fire.

Every other comment i read from people who own the Ally is how clunky windows is for the form factor or how a windows update broke stuff. I mean sure, there's going to be a few people who will buy it but i don't see any windows handheld as a true competitor to the Deck, at least not before it gets a true handheld mode.

Dead in the water until it has an OS optimized for gaming handhelds.

Same execs who think it's such a waste not adding $15 outfit DLC to BG3

I'm sure the engineers who made this know. And if they didn't, this is an article from 2018, they would have most certainly found out by now.

Microtransactions are not acceptable in full retail single player games. I don't care if it's only cosmetics. If i pay 60 bucks for it, i better get the whole damn thing. Looking at you, Diablo 4.

Every time i search for something nowadays, the first results i get are always AI-generated articles that regurgitate other articles in the least useful and uninformative way as possible in an effort to show you ads. Robosites (a word i just came up with) and SEO have ruined Google.
