Using Junk Store on my Steam Deck (and redeeming free games on the mobile website) to completely avoid the Epic Launcher 😎

smeg,

Please tell me more about this Junk Store, I’d been using Heroic for Epic games but it’s been a bit dodgy recently

Sure, it’s a plugin through Decky. It allows you to log in to Epic and it displays your library in its separate window, allowing you to install them as Non-Steam Games. It’s quite easy

smeg,

I’ve not used Decky before, it always seemed like one of those things that needed constant tinkering. Is it still a bit bleeding edge or has it reached the “it just works” stage yet?

Decky itself is fine, some plugins are buggy. If you install it and Junk-Store, you should be fine with no problems. I run like a dozen plugins and I only ever had problems with the UI customization ones: css, and animation changer. I uninstalled those and it’s all passive now.

I’ve only had problems with one game from Epic. The rest worked just fine with no tweaks

smeg,

Cheers, I’ll give it a go if Heroic is still not working the next time I try to use it

Annoyed_Crabby, do games w Google discussed teaming up with Tencent to buy Epic Games

Why is everyone buying each other lately???

Waluigis_Talking_Buttplug,

Corporations see others getting profit as competition, and it makes sense to consolidate profits so “Everyone wins” (everyone excluding the consumer)

Weakening of antitrust regulations.

WalrusDragonOnABike,

One school of thoughts is companies go through eras of profiting from inflation and eras of profiting from M&As. Guess an uptick in M&A would suggest they're no longer increasing profits from inflation?

Zorque,

Lately? You haven't been paying attention.

youRFate, do games w Xbox Game Pass made $230 million revenue in one month, most users pay for full subscriptions

I like it, cheaper than Netflix used to be, and I use it for more hours / month. Rn I’m using it to play starfield.

Yeah, and Lies of P just released, too. I get more than my money’s worth out of it. Especially with cloud gaming on the steam deck.

Kurious84, do games w Helldivers 2 was almost a free-to-play game, could've changed Sony's live service trajectory

Measly 40 dollars.

nuggie_ss, do games w Xbox invests big into indies, signs Game Pass deals with over 50 studios

It’s just business.

Might as well cast a wide net with a bunch of indie trash, hoping that something ends up gaining a following for- whatever reason.

It’s cheaper and easier than taking on risk themselves and trying to compete with the big dogs.

vrighter, do games w Sony is releasing a new PS5 console, but it's a downgrade

the ps5 is the console I used the least. And I bought the ps3 in the middle of the ps4’s generation.

HeyJoe, do games w PS5 may get more price increases in the US, analyst warns

Back in my day, console prices went down as they aged. This is the first time I’ve been thrilled to get one early, but sad because this sucks…

dejected_warp_core, do games w Stardew Valley creator says he might make Stardew Valley 2
Psythik, (edited ) do games w Stardew Valley creator says he might make Stardew Valley 2

I literally just bought the game so he better fucking not.

Edit: Jesus, lol; it was sarcasm XD

simple, do games w Intel announces XeSS 2 with new Frame Generation and Low Latency tech

The first XeSS is very underrated IMO. I found that it generally looks a lot better than what FSR had at the time.

PenguinTD, do gaming w Black Myth: Wukong is one of the best-selling games of all time

I will wait until they fixed some issues DF mentioned before I’ll buy it. (also currently busy with other games.)

Anyone not using Eneba to get three month Xbox live gold cards is missing out. Converts to 50 days of gamepass for less than 9 dollars.

Whirlybird, do games w Xbox Game Pass made $230 million revenue in one month, most users pay for full subscriptions

But but but but $1 loophole and free trials?!?!? /s

Happy GPU subscriber here. It has changed how I buy games, for the better for my finances especially if you ask my wife haha

Klystron,

For me I just can’t support it because I feel like it’s just one more step in changing digital ownership. Always my fear that one day I’ll wake up and storefronts aren’t a thing, you have to subscribe to play a game.

Whirlybird,

That’s fair enough even though I don’t think digital purchases are ever going away.

frog_brawler, do games w PS5 may get more price increases in the US, analyst warns

PS5 is dogshit. I haven’t turned mine on since October.

Squizzy,

Got astrobot for my son and GoW for myself.

Other than that it was useless and both of those are not enough to stay. Finally committed to building a linux gaming setup.

Smeagol666, do games w PS5 may get more price increases in the US, analyst warns

They can keep the fucking thing with all of these dogshit “AAA” games that come out half baked and/or dark pattern tricks to try and fuck you out of even more money. I’m glad I never bothered with Diablo 4 or POE 2.

bruh you speak nonsense. there is no company like GGG (maker of PoE) when it comes to fairness, dedication to their fans, dedication to their core values and ideas of what an ARPG should be and both games are free (poe 2 will be free on full release) but yea fuck blizzard
