Valve News Network owner Tyler McVicker made the comments during a twitch stream, to the disappointment of many watching. He stated that due to the sheer amount of work involved in allowing Counter-Strike community content to be ported, Valve held a meeting and “made a decision” not to continue with the port, “As of now, it’s not happening. They’re not going to do it.” It’s simply “too much work” for Valve to justify putting into an engine update that otherwise would be fairly uncomplicated....

The Steam Deck is being described by Valve as a handheld gaming PC, powered by the latest AMD CPU and GPU and sporting a 7 inch screen on which to display games at 800p native resolution.

Aesthetically though, fans may be looking for something a little more customizable, much like a cell phone case or laptop skin....

What Is Valve Planning? As reported by Ars Technica, several anonymous sources have claimed that Valve has been working on “a Switch-like portable PC.” The sources claim that Valve has had gears in motion for a few years now and that the gaming giant wants to ship them by the end of this year.

In a recent post on Twitter, user Pavel Djundik, who some will recognize as the creator of SteamDB which is a site that often posts about upcoming Steam sale rumors, has linked to a patent filed by Valve which talks about a number of patents and systems which is likely related to its Steam service, although it doesn’t specifically say so on the site. Djundik’s tweet sums it up by saying that the patent will introduce a method of “tracking game file read operations” and will allow users to begin playing games before they finish downloading, which it calls “Instant Play” and sounds similar to Xbox One’s FastStart feature....

The Maypole falls into the category of items that can only be found.
