#Whatsmissing is a button in #Steam to allow people to wish that a game would work on #SteamDeck. Shouldn鈥檛 matter if it鈥檚 in my library (of shame) or my wishlist (of shame).
If it鈥檚 a game I鈥檇 *like* to play, and it doesn鈥檛 support playing on SteamDeck, I鈥檇 like a simple and measurable way to let the developers know about that desire.
Same for the upcoming #SteamMachine and #SteamFrame devices.

The upcoming Steam Machine is an (almost) cube-shaped mini PC or game console that runs the Linux-based SteamOS and features a custom AMD CPU and GPU. It also supports swappable face plates, and Jsaux is showing off some concept designs. https://www.reddit.com/r/JSAUX/comments/1p0bj2q/ink_or_pixels_well_continue_to_update_all_product/ #SteamMachine #Jsaux

Quick reminder on the likely reason why Valve's New Steam Machine only supports #HDMI 2.0:
""At this time an open source HDMI 2.1 implementation is not possible without running afoul of the HDMI Forum requirements.""
This is what Alex Deucher, the maintainer of the amdgpu #kernel driver, said one and a half years ago here:
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/amd/-/issues/1417#note_2303163
And from the ticket it looks like the problem remains.
See also Alex's earlier comment from early 2021 in the ticket:

""HDMI 2.1 is not available on #Linux due to the HDMI Forum.""

I love Valve sometimes.
Finally the Gabecube is reality.
The way that Valve could make a fortune off of me if they brought out the Steam Machine in pink. 馃巰
