@CactusMan
How would it have been Deck exclusive if it's already on PS3 and 360, and currently playable on Series S/X via Back Compat? Not to mention, playable on any other PC as well.

I imagine they're releasing it on Switch specifically to promote the Steamdeck. Same reason Xbox puts some games like Ori on Switch. They see a massive market that has overlap, and wants to entice them by showing them a sample of the amazing games on offer.

There could be a few reasons. I'd like to hope it's because they are starting to take up game making again and doing a port to another system which isn't a rival (publicly anyway) is just them stretching before they get to work on a brand new game. If they are serious about Steamdeck then a few exclusives like new Team Fortress, Portal and Half Life and Counter-Strike would make people consider it.

Valve during the 00s were bloody amazing and run as good as anyone else's so I'm ignoring all other speculation as I want it too much to happen.

Valve already said Steamdeck would not have exclusive games of any kind.

They could make Steam exclusive games though. And I don't doubt they are, after Half Life Alyx.

I suppose with the release of Portal 1 & 2 for Switch we can assume Half Life 2 isn't far behind for Switch as well?

Here's some interesting info about the MK8 Deluxe DLC from the eshop:

"Even if you haven't purchased the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Booster Course Pass or a NSO + Expansion Pack membership, you can still try out the courses if you play with friends who have access to the Booster Course Pass.
Additionally, starting on 22/03/2022, courses included in the Booster Course Pass will appear in the Random selection when playing Global or Regional races with anyone online."

Not sure whether by Random it means specifically the Random option or whether it also includes the 3 specific courses you can vote for each race (as those are randomly selected) but it seems the DLC will appear in matchmaking even if you don't own it.

@Grumblevolcano That's great then for big groups of friends. Since only one person needs to have the DLC, you could just have that person make the lobby and everyone can play the DLC online together. I wonder if the any-track selection would also have them then?

Which is how Call of Duty does their DLC maps. Only pairing players with other players who own the map.

@DarthNocturnal Before I got both Fighter's Pass', it was very annoying to get a really sick replay, try to go save it as a video, only for it to not work because it was with a DLC character/stage that I didn't own yet. I remember this happened once because a DLC SONG was playing (Spiral Mountain on Battlefield I believe) as well which, as you can imagine, was very frustrating.

@WoomyNNYes I followed the same instructions already 7 times and still nothing.

The original battery is 4,300 MAH

The replacement us 4,300 MAH

Everything else is the same 3 V etc

I am planning on going back to the 3rd party repair center where I had them replace the battery to see if they can replace it again under warranty.

I thought to ask you guys to see if anyone here had ideas

Tay205

WoomyNNYes

Oooo, @Tay205's on the ball. Yeah, I agree, questioning the actual battery seems like the next logical step.

@Tay205 Sorry about this double post. If anyone gives you toxic guff, like I saw earlier, don't be afraid to use that Ignore button or the Block feature.

@DarthNocturnal @JaxonH You know the modern call of duty games give maps and new weapons to every player for free, right? By seasons with updates. They sell cosmetics skins on their battle passes, not maps like back then.

Really?

Cause when I was buying all the CoD games on Steam recently, there were tons of map pack season passes I saw.

@WoomyNNYes ya I just can't believe that person accused me of hacking my switch.

I just had the battery replaced

I am still playing Zelda breath of the wild which is for the switch

If I hacked it do you think I can still play breath of the wild or still have access to switch games and the switch eshop?

I believe that kid who accused me of hacking my switch hacked his switch.

I reported him on both comments he posted because I got mad

People probably thinks I hacked it when I didn't

Tay205

WoomyNNYes

@Tay205 He was a little ineleant there😁, but there is a nintendolife community rule against discussing hacking/modding current gen consoles. I think it's for legal reasons, and nintendolife wants to keep a good releationship with Nintendo.

Trying to repair simple-ish stuff like, replace battery, replace fan, fix a joycon or pro controller, that seems to be ok.

@JaxonH All the COD games before Modern Warfare (2019) have awful season passes. The ones after Modern Warfare 2019, they're all going to receive free maps. Only cosmetic skins will be paid. So as of right now, MW19, Cold War, and the new one Vanguard all have free DLC maps & weapons.

@MsJubilee
Oh. Right on.

@DarthNocturnal
So, which ones are missing from Steam? I got Vanguard on Series X since I can play with gyro aiming now using XIM Nexus.

But if there's other CoD games not on Steam I wanna grab them on Series X

@DarthNocturnal
Nevermind.

  • Black Ops 4 (no campaign)
  • Modern Warfare 2019
  • Black Ops: Cold War
  • Vanguard

Guess I didn't realize how many had passed me buy. Easy skip on BO4, but I grabbed the other 2 I didn't own on Series X just now.
