Anti-cheat services for PC video games are complex by design. They’re built to protect multiplayer systems in games from cheaters, while also protecting themselves from the cheaters at the same time. Since the Steam Deck isn’t a Windows-based PC, even popular anti-cheat systems won’t run by default. Valve has to work with its partners to ensure compatibility, which it has. Today, Valve announced that Steam Deck will now support Epic Games’ Easy Anti-Cheat software, but that’s just one step in Valve’s effort to support anti-cheat on Steam Deck....

However, a statement and slide shown during the Google for Games developer summit set tongues wagging worldwide with the news that Steam is coming to Chrome OS, bringing the world’s biggest gaming platform to Chromebooks at last. Steam Is Coming to Chrome OS—But Not Quite Yet Google’s announcement came somewhat as a shock to the world of Chromebook users and, indeed, gamers. Speaking at the Google for Games developer summit keynote, Google product director Greg Hartrell said, “The Steam alpha just launched, making this long-time PC game store available on select Chromebooks for users to try....

Luckily for Steelers rookie wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster, he can. MORE: NFL free agency tracker The team’s rookie class visited the Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh of UPMC on Monday and Smith-Schuster danced to the song, along with one of the hospital’s patients. ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler captured the scene on video. This wasn’t the first time the former USC wide receiver has danced to the song, and if he has success in Pittsburgh, it likely won’t be the last....

MORE: Who’s stumped for Trump? Harris, then a member of the Broncos, reacted to Trump’s comments at the time. On Wednesday at Steelers OTAs, Harris addressed the issue once more. “The right to pursue freedom and liberty in this country and practice your own religion, that’s as American as it gets," Harris said, via the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. “If you’re against that, to me and to others, it’s un-American.” This is an issue Harris takes very seriously considering he practices the Muslim faith....

Despite winning a Super Bowl, despite going 60-28 in his first five seasons, Tomlin knows 2014 will begin with pressure. Pressure to win; pressure to improve on last season’s 8-8 disappointment, the second consecutive .500 campaign for a team accustomed to winning. Job security is meaningless in the NFL. “I don’t assume that,” he told the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review. Remember, the Steelers haven’t won a playoff game since 2010. Their 0-4 finish last season was the franchise’s first in 45 years....

While returning a blocked field goal on the final play of the first half for what should have been an easy touchdown, Chicago corner Marcus Cooper slowed down as he neared the Pittsburgh goal line and allowed Steelers tight end Vance McDonald to hit him and force a fumble at the 1-yard line. The ball rolled out of the back of the end zone for an apparent touchback, but upon review, Steelers punter Jordan Berry was caught illegally batting the ball....

And now it’s a three-game losing streak for the Steelers. There is not a correlation between these two events, but there is a connection. And Steelers coach Mike Tomlin said he plans to take some action relative to Smith-Schuster’s pregame exhibitions. Smith-Schuster’s pregame dances on the opposing team’s logo when playing on the road — recorded and distributed through the social media site TikTok — became an issue when his footwork on the Bills’ logo in Week 14 caught the attention of his opponents....

Steelers second-year running back Jaylen Samuels underwent arthroscopic knee surgery Monday and is expected to be out a month, Steelers coach Mike Tomlin told reporters Tuesday. Samuels, who has 18 carries for 50 yards and a touchdown, 13 catches for 83 yards and has completed 4 of 5 passes for 35 yards and an interception this season, suffered the injury Sunday against Baltimore and was seen on crutches at the team’s practice facility Tuesday....

Not only can the Steelers reach that average, but if they want to meet sky-high playoff expectations, they must. MORE: Big Ben gets his due | Division predictions | AFC uniform rankings Roethlsiberger’s prolific goal is already being challenged. Center Maurkice Pouncey is out at least three months with an ankle injury.

RELATED: Story-Heavy Sci-Fi Games To Play While Waiting For Starfield Aside from a basic trailer highlighting the overall world and aesthetic, not much is known about Starfield. There have been some press releases and informational panels, but fans generally don’t know what to expect. This has led to the gaming community coming up with their own theories. Some are very believable, but others are pretty out there. If nothing else, the discourse surrounding Starfield is a signal that hype meters are maxing out amongs Bethesda fans....

Season 3 of Stargirl will now prominently feature a character who’s been built up since the beginning, and the actor behind him is ready to roll. Former Community star McHale, who plays Sylvester Pemberton/Starman on the show, will enjoy a bump up to series regular in season 3 after spending the past 2 seasons appearing only in flashbacks and brief glimpses here and there, like a colorful sasquatch.

The Coleman experiment, in which one man tried, in his own words, “to walk in other people’s shoes,” resonates as the administration considers welfare reform. Emboldened by the success of the 1996 measure, which led to a sharp decline in the welfare rolls, Washington politicians want to act again, forcing states to further decrease the number of those entitled to benefits. They are emboldened, too, by the fact that the most nightmarish scenarios conjured up by opponents of the original bill did not materialize, or at least did not come to light: legions of hungry children, thousands of homeless families....

But I’m not sure the Joneses have ever had a sporting weekend quite like the last one. Just call it the very good, the very bad and the gonna-get-very-very-ugly. The very good came from Smarty Jones, the estimable 3-year-old who made like Secretariat in running off with the Preakness Stakes. His victory provided horseracing fans with what is becoming an annual tease, the prospect of the first Triple Crown winner since Affirmed turned the trick back in 1978....

The first Starrcade event — the brainchild of Conrad Thompson — took place over Labor Day weekend 2018 in Chicago alongside the All In wrestling event, both of which turned out to be huge successes.

DeCourcy: What we’ve learned from years of observing the Final Four is that it usually takes a few particular qualities to win the championship.

At UMass and other cash-strapped public universities, pleasing alumni is more vital than ever. With many state budgets on red alert, schools like UMass are taking a page from private universities, which have long relied on generous alumni to boost their bottom lines.
