    Are the epic games free, or do you have to pay for them? Or is it like Steam where you can get some for free and pay for others?

      ⁠@@Despair6048 wrong, some games are free but most are not. Next time read the question properly before giving wrong answers, is that hard to understand?

      @@Despair6048 you just answered “they are free” to someone asking “are Epic games free, or some are free and you pay for others?”, I guess good reading comprehension is not you thing 😂

    The launcher can be installed, but not all games share PC-level filing functionality, which means some games you can neither load saved files (cross devices) nor create new saves for, which means you’re running great games yet left to vanilla Nintendo system save options. Unfortunately, not many outlets are speaking on this “glitch” of sorts.

    I don’t see why so many people are so in love with the Steam Deck, I bought one a couple of weeks ago and it has all the problems of PC gaming: fan noise, gets warm, cannot download while in sleep mode (PlayStation and Switch do that)… It’s not bad but it still need lots of refinements, a regular gaming console is way more convenient in my opinion.

      Its a portable pc? If a pc cant download in rest then than a steam deck cant also. And duh its going to get warm, portable gaming device that can still play most console games ps4 and older or some made that was build for weaker devices

      @@dylanlee5342what I’m saying is that I don’t find it so revolutionary. It’s a small PC, so? Every portable device is a “small PC”, a portable computer that can run games
