And the games actually go on sale
And you're not supporting a godawful abusive company such as Nintendo.
The only thing I still buy from Nintendo is hanafuda. They got some pretty good quality, playable stuff. I guess their shogi equipment isn’t bad either.
Video games though? Nope, not anymore.
And I can refund the game if I don't like it. And I can see reviews of the game by those who have been vetted as having bought it.
And it'll play nearly every video game made since the invention of video games, which is a huge win.
Want to play Diablo? Sure, no problem. Destiny 2? Yep, that's fine. Italian Plumber and Friends Kart Racing? Why yes, that works great.
And yeah, don't have to support a company that hates you only slightly more than it hates people playing their older games.
Teach me how to get d2 running on steamdeck
Fair, I brainfarted on that one.
I have an Ally, which is running Windows, which does run Destiny 2 and Fortnite and League and whatever else the steamdeck doesn't because of rootkit anticheat.
So I'll restate: you can run almost anything that doesn't need malware to allow you to connect to their servers.
Ahh damn I got my hopes up I thought there was a legit workaround without windows
D2 and Fortnite are keeping me on windows instead of something like Bazzite, so I'm right there with you.
The annoying thing is that battleeye does exist for Linux, but the devs would have to implement it and they're just.... not.
You install Windows on it.
Several things in your list come with an asterisk, to be fair.
