Valve Won’t Be Doing Yearly Steam Deck Releases

This will be a massive relief for many, as not many people will have the finances to be able to purchase a new handheld every year, especially if the upgrades aren't that significant.

Valve Removes Arbitration From Steam Agreements, Disputes Can Now Go Forward in Court

As of today, millions of Steam users woke up with a new notice from Valve, saying that the Steam Subscriber Agreement has been updated, removing a requirement that disputes must go to arbitration rather than court.  If you have a dispute that isn't solved via Steam Support, you are now required to take the company to federal or state court.

In most situations, consumers are required to arbitrate and not sue after accepting agreements, especially in […]
