This game is still around? I thought the developer delisted it and took the servers down.

Of course the Guillemot family wants to keep their control of Ubisoft. If they do and the company goes private, Ubisoft is still going to die.

And development teams are too big. No game should realistically be having 500+ people working on it. That's too many people, too big a ship to steer fast enough for the changes that happen in game development. Even the biggest games have done very well with teams of 250 or less, including all staff that work on the game, how about development studios pay attention to that?

It is similar to Steam Big Picture Mode, yeah. Its got a special mode called BigBox mode, its designed to mimic console UIs. There are a lot of community made themes that change up how it looks.

You could probably use something like autohotkey or some gamepad mapper to link Chrome into LaunchBox. I have never tried it, but you can technically add any executable with a field for launch arguments.

Steam Deck is not any closer to real ownership than Xbox or PlayStation. Video Games have had "non-ownership" clauses in their EULAs long before the Xbox or PlaysStation existed, sadly.

It is great for video games. Other content can work with it but that would be more finnicky. I have successfully got movies and downloaded TV shows to appear in it but you have to set them up like emulated games. The neat part is for older content, you can actually load it up in Retroarch and gain access to Retroarch's screen shaders like the CRT shaders, which can add a nice touch to older 4:3 content.

Iron Will is the name of a Survivor perk in Dead by Daylight, which reduces the volume of your Survivors noises when they are injured.

I have the same one. Works well for what I need it for.

For a moment I thought this was a Dead By Daylight Survivor meme and thought you might've been lost lol

Yes, the keyboard wont require regular use but you should still have one. You can use a frontend like I do, but there will always be little quirks or issues with updates so youll have to keep a mouse and keyboard handy, but you dont need to have it always visible or to use for the system, just for correcting problems.

I set up an HTPC for emulation and gaming. LaunchBox is my frontend of choice. Set up the PC to autoreboot every day at 3am. It only occasionally has an issue where LaunchBox crashes and needs to be manually restarted or something needs an update.

Could?

Will. By design.

Never forget, releasing your game means you already made it farther than 90% of the other game developers.
