Yup its done.  Didn't do much with it but its modded.

Yeah I know,  but as someone that doesn't buy consoles I won't be buying again.  Closest thing I have to that is the Steam Deck. Which is really just a PC with a modified Linux to make it idiot proof.

Yeah I can see that which is why I really support steam.  I have most of my DRM based media on them and if possible I always get it there just because they are the most likely to keep going in the future. 

I have bought on GOG before but don't think about it as much as I should.
