Steam Workshop VS ShellNewHandler

• User-Generated Content
  Steam Workshop allows users to create and share their own custom content for games, which can enhance the gaming experience with new levels, models, weapons, and more.
• Community Engagement
  The platform fosters a strong community by allowing users to rate, comment, and share content, which can lead to a more connected and active player base.
• Easy Integration
  For developers, integrating Steam Workshop into their games can offer a relatively easy way to increase longevity and replayability by enabling mod support.
• Automatic Updates
  Subscribed mods are updated automatically, ensuring that users always have the most current version without needing manual intervention.
• Broad Accessibility
  Being integrated into Steam, the Workshop is accessible to a large user base globally, providing developers and content creators a vast audience.

Possible disadvantages

• Quality Control
  With an open platform for user-generated content, there's a wide variance in quality, and users may encounter poorly made or buggy mods.
• Moderation Challenges
  Managing and moderating content can be difficult, potentially leading to issues with inappropriate or infringing content being uploaded.
• Dependency Conflicts
  Mods can sometimes conflict with each other or with the base game, leading to technical issues that can be difficult for users to resolve.
• Revenue Limitations
  While there's an option for monetizing content through Steam Workshop, many creators might find the revenue split with Valve and other stakeholders less favorable.
• Storage and Bandwidth Usage
  Downloading large amounts of mods can take up significant storage space and bandwidth, which might be a concern for users with limited resources.

• How hard is it to add mods to games in the steam deck?

  Depends on the game, really. Some games use the Steam Workshop, that's as easy as it gets. Just subscribe to a mod and it gets downloaded and installed by Steam. Most other methods are easy on PC but a bit harder on Steam Deck. Source: over 3 years ago

• Valve really needs to get rid of the "Scheduled Downloading" crap for the Workshop

  May be it, difficult to say. Though Valve has not done much with the Workshop platform for almost a decade now (oh god time really flies). Particularly shows that the last news entry was in 2016. A few niche bugs have shown up over the... Source: almost 4 years ago

• I recently got libreoffice, but now the new option in right click looks like a mess. Can someone help me get rid of them please?

• This menu should be easy to add/remove programs to... Who is really creating Access Databases from this menu often enough to keep it here? (Not me!) Is there an easy way to edit this?

  I've always used ShellNewHandler for this. It's a really simple portable utility that allows you to remove most of the items from that menu. Tested it out on Windows 11 and it's still compatible. Source: over 5 years ago
