Probably done by the same people that tried to eat Tide Pods.
If you're someone that's sniffing the vents of your Steam Deck then I need say a couple of things: First off, what the hell is wrong with you? Secondly, Valve says you should probably not do that.
Apparently there's some joke or meme about sniffing the exhaust vents of your Steam Deck. Huh?... What? I don't know what this is all about. Maybe it's some dumb zoomer thing like eating Tide Pods, licking Switch...

The Day Before Studio Announces Closure Mere Days After Releasing Game
The studio outright lied about The Day Before.
After "five years of blood, sweat, and tears," the studio behind The Day Before is calling it quits. Developer Fntastic, not to be confused with the word "fantastic," just announced that they are shuttering their entire studio.

The competitive shooter, The Finals, is now available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam. The Finals is developed by Embark Studios, a group of developers that used to work on the Battlefield franchise back in the Levolution days.

The Finals is a free-to-play, team-based shooter. Players compete in virtual arenas based...
