The Steam Deck was the way of bringing SteamOS to the masses, now the HW developers will sell their devices in Walmart just by the Switch and the other consoles, it will be cheaper due to the 0 license cost (or, you know, pocketing the difference) with a big, ever expanding, catalog.
About the Switch 2, the hype is there definitely and it is a known brand, mainly sold to families and casual gamers. But even PlayStation and Xbox are not competing with Nintendo.
Yes but that’s it right, they are not developing for Linux, Steam is doing it for the developer. There is nothing stopping Windows of saying sell exclusively through my Store, though I believe they have tried.
But I do understand were you are coming from Windows is definitely not the most ethical company and definitely they are not up for fair fight, what I’m trying to say is that I hope the game developers focus more in the mobile market and optimize the games more.

The difference as I understand it is that the frames in-between the real frame are generated by extrapolation in the Frame Generation technologies. They use one of the many flavors of AI to do this.
The TV’s Motion Smoothing is interpolation (which is fine for Movies) as there is no latency to be “felt”.

Last time this happened to a Chinese game I owned, it’s because their publisher was removed off steam for fake reviews or something. The devs had to get a new publisher and issued owners of the game new keys to the game since they had to make a new store page.
This sounds very plausible to me.
Microsoft is getting a bad rep because they don’t want to let the Series S go. They are not handling these problems very well. The Series X should be the “cheap” platform and they should have a “Pro”, called Series XS (pronounced excess, you are welcome Microsoft), so they are the platform that people want and not the platform that’s holding back games.
I like your question but you should formulated better, that’s why it’s getting downvoted.
Short Answer: No, it’s not a flop. Long answer: Many have given the meaning of a flop so I will not repeat. What you want to know it seems is if ERN succeeded as a multiplayer and I get the feeling you are comparing it to FPS, but they have very different markets. ERN made good money and satisfied the Soul-Like gamers Multiplayer addiction. Elden Ring is also not massive when compared to Counter Strike but in proportion ERN is very successful. The learning curve for the Souls-Like games is usually also a detractor for many.
