Steam OS has been updated and now supports more devices. It's probably going to be able to run on many Ryzen-based handhelds. The installation is done via USB recovery image:

The base of the modern Hitman game is kinda free. They hope you'll get all other missions afterwards.

Keep in mind that it's more like a demo version, not a real game.

UPD: The game apparently turned into spyware a few years ago. In license agreement it openly states that the game will steal all the information it can:

Your internet browser history
Your installed apps lists
Your payment information
... and many more 😮

Unfortunately, MindsEye, the first game from Build a rocket boy (founded by ex-Rockstar executive) has 17% of positive reviews on Steam.

UPD: a few hours later it's 30% positive with only 250 reviews in total and it peaked at 3200 concurrent players. What went wrong?

• Optimization is absent
• The game crashes all the time
• Visual artifacts
• Poor voice acting and writing
• Very bad shooting
• Feels cheaper than it has to be
• Much cheaper

Dune Awakening is a huge success: 170K CCU and 86% positive reviews on Steam. In just a few days the game has 22000 reviews (multiply by about 30 to estimate sales).

Holy crap: thanks to Collective Shout, Steam lost PayPal support in many regions!

If you forgot the story: 8 Aussie and radical Catholic mums attacked Visa, MasterCard, and PayPal so they will stop selling any adult games or games they generally don't like. Under false accusations they tried to make it look like those games are illegal (but they don't). They even tried to delist Detroit Become Human only because one of them didn't like the game.

And they partially succeeded with tens of thousands of games got delisted from Steam, Itchio and GOG.
