   I think Valve is really gonna have to put their foot down on publishers.

   PC games shipping updates that break the game or make it unplayable on some software configs is kinda ok since thats the nature of PC gaming but they are in the console market now

   You can't sell a game that works on a console and then the game be updated to not work on your console after people already bought it.

   It's ok if the game doesn't support Steam Deck outright, but publishers shouldn't be allowed to ship updates that break support if it's already supported.

     @ocean Or maybe for Valve to not force updates or at least keep a copy-on-write snapshot of the game prior to the update so you can rollback.

     @Miaourt @ocean 20 minutes? So ~500kB/s patching "speed"
     That is reaaally slow.

     @lanodan @ocean that would imply smarter game storage that doesn't seems to be the case

     Like when you spend 20min patching 5GB of game with the 500MB update you just downloaded :neocat_woozy:

     @Miaourt @ocean Well even with great compression (10× which is unlikely) it would be 5MB/s which is still slower than like writing on an SD-card.

     @lanodan @ocean I mean it takes awfully long for who knows reasons (500MB might be compressed)
