Hello

Looks like the folks at Valve are now using optional chaining. Since they're not minifying the source, the offending code can be seen below:

Code: Select all

function ShowEULA( elLink )
{
	var bSupportTabletMode = window.SupportTabletScreenMode && window.SupportTabletScreenMode(); 
	if ( bSupportTabletMode )
	{
		// it's a better user experience on Deck if we navigate to the EULA instead of opening a new window
		window.location = elLink.href;
	}
	else 
	{
		var win = window.open( elLink.href,'eula','height=584,width=475,resize=yes,scrollbars=yes');
		win?.focus();
	}
}

I've already reported this to them but if other people want to do so as well would be nice. volume speaks for these companies.

I assume there are no temp. workarounds for this problem?

No, because it introduces ambiguity in the parser (what a "?" token is supposed to mean) and there's no real way that I know of to modify parts of the parser on the fly like that.
Perhaps loaded js can be pre-processed with an extension but it's not always straight-forward what ?. expressions should be replaced with.

ok...thx for the explanation,guess we will have to wait for steam to sort this out
