Note that this is an issue from 2021. Firefox has implemented countermeasures since version 85, Chrome seems to have done the same.

So while this is definitely interesting, it shouldn‘t be an issue anymore.

To be fair, everyone was offered a refund for that game. So technically they probably haven‘t paid for it anymore.

I still totally agree that Sony shouldn‘t go after private Concord servers. This game is very interesting, because it was an unbelievable failure despite having pretty solid gameplay. And preserving that on private servers provides a great way for other developers to learn, and maybe prevent, the tons of other issues leading to the game‘s failure.

If you’re comfortable with helping the Proton developers fix the issue, I‘d recommend searching Proton‘s Github issues for the game that won‘t run.

If your problem hasn‘t already been reported, create a proton log (run the game with the launch option PROTON_LOG=1 %command% once and find the log in your home directory). If an issue for the game doesn‘t exist already, you can open up a new one. Otherwise, append your log to the existing issue in a comment and describe what‘s happening exactly.

The devs over there are usually really helpful and nice. Many of my reports have been fixed within hours or days in bleeding-edge, although it can of course take longer if the issue is more complicated.

Hand straps will be available, though! They‘re mentioned and shown in a few places in Tested‘s coverage of the Frame.

This is actually not only being reported by noyb (which also isn’t an outlet, but an NGO specializing in data protection matters) but also by netzpolitik.org and even heise.de (both German).

All three have been very reliable in the past, so I don‘t think there‘s any reason for doubting the authenticity of the documents.

This is such a click-bait comment, my god…

Your source for stability issues in Hogwarts Legacy is a single user in the Steam community with other users in the same thread not having issues at all. Seeing that Hogwarts Legacy is one of the most played games on Deck (ranked 11th at time of writing ), I think many more people would report issues if crashes were common.

Furthermore, your TONNE of optional game stores is one. I can‘t really think of a game store, besides Microsoft’s, that doesn‘t work on Steam Deck.

These early performance comparisons definitely have limited value for comparing Windows/Linux performance on the device. But I’m sorry to say that your arguments have even less.
