There has been SO MUCH NEWS this week… from developers removing features from their games on Deck to patent trolls flinging lawsuits. I’ve written SIX PAGES worth of news (that’s three more than normal). There’s been so much going on that I think we should just dive right into it. That’s right. It’s Steam Deck news time!
