Well, that was quick. You got to love it when companies quickly fix issues that are brought up. On Sunday, I posted on a small bug that would not enable games to load on the Steam Deck when in Offline mode. For some it's a minor thing as there's a work around, but it might not be known by a lot people who experience this issue.

Yesterday, Valve pushed out an update to the Beta and Preview branch of the Steam Deck to address this issue. Sure enough, I updated this morning and was able to start and play games after rebooting while in Offline mode. Kudos to Valve for addressing this pretty quickly. That's great customer service and I wish more companies would do this.

Expect a review soon of this awesome portable gaming device.
