    This is absolutely useful for developers and the health of the gaming ecosystem.

    In past years, gacha/P2W games have had too many pages and too much traffic, exposing their trash to lure new gamers in the Steam store.

    Traditional/buyout games have had unfair exposure conditions. Years ago, I sensed this problem, but I found good games through other channels, so I wasn’t impacted by this condition. However, the competition between buyout games and gacha/P2W games in the Steam Store is absolutely unfair.

    So, I am very glad to see Valve changing this condition.

    I hope I can see a lot of high-quality demos of buyout games occupying the Steam store page, getting the most exposure instead of gacha/P2W trash.

    Thanks for the long details, dude.

    I just use Windows to run games. I need nothing else on Windows. So Tiny11 is good enough for me.

    In terms of safety, I don’t store any information on Windows, so I never update it. It’s just a gaming tool for me.

    If my game accounts like Ubisoft, Steam, or GOG are leaked, it’s acceptable. They are just some email addresses and automatically generated passcodes, easy to update. It’s not important.

    And the file systems used by Windows and Linux partitions aren’t mutually readable, so running games on Windows is hardly likely to affect the safety of the Linux partition. It’s perfect.
