Now they are extrapolating estimated figures as annual when it hasn't even been out a full month? What a terrible article. And jumping the gun when price of the Steam Machines could go up even more with component costs not locked in for years for Valve, but closer to months so more affected by changing part costs.

Web scraping relies on old.reddit. Pops up when you select it.
I like that discs aren't tied to an online account, so anyone in possession of it can use it to play the game. The company can't take away access like they can banning your online account.
What happened for me was the regular method stopped working so I was using the web scraping method for a few weeks, but then that stopped working completely. Does old.reddit still work for you on your internet?
That was when the web scraping method stopped working for me on Stealth.
I have RES too. Maybe cookie? I do have my browser delete cookies on exit.
I think it is more that whether benevolent or malevolent there are more decisions that align with what PC gamers want compared to other gaming companies.
Like push for Linux and trying to make it more accessible to the average user. Compared to where Linux was when the first Steam Machine came out and how much more user friendly it became after the Steam Deck is one area. Still lot of work to do, but leaving Microsoft behind isn't as daunting as it used to be for gamers.
With other consoles the stands outs are more the exclusives.
But, there are more clashing of ideas like paid online, requiring locked down hardware, and inability to install whatever you want on consoles. Console ecosystem has been much more confrontational just because of being a closed ecosystem for those that want a more open one.
Here's a reddit link of other reddit people talking getting login prompt if they try to use old.reddit.

I've only bought discs for my consoles. But, last Sony console I had was PS4. Reason was because I switched to PC, but I only felt comfortable with digital on PC due to open hardware and OS. As opposed to locked hardware of consoles. I can't see myself buying digital for consoles.
I used to do old.reddit/RES and list of subs I wanted to follow to lurk, but then reddit killed off old.reddit for people who aren't logged in this week.
And the regular reddit interface looks so ugly with how little content it shows in comparison. Switched to a redlib instance and set UI to wide and compact, but still miss RES with old.reddit. But, not enough to login with an account to use reddit.
On Android I was using Stealth just to get feed of subs I'm interested in, but it is dead now because it relied on old.reddit to retrieve stuff. And it hasn't been updated to work with redlib. So I've just been using redlib in browser.
Thank you for the app. I'm loving it and came across this one after looking for an app that supports PieFed.
Glad I got my Deck when I did. Got a lot of use out of it, but I couldn't see myself getting one at the current price. What a bad timeline.
