I don’t really understand why Valve went for a portable gaming handheld device with games made for PC with a wide screen. The fun of playing PC games is most likely due to mods and using a keyboard + mouse as a controller. Maybe Valve is predicting that in the future mobile gaming would be more successful than it is now, and frankly It is if one is to look at the global market share of gaming earnings, 60% and rising of profits comes from mobile gaming on phone and tablets. That’s huge.
So a risking choice from Valve with the Steam Deck. From the other side it’s Linux, games could shut down support for it at any time without any repercussions. I’ve seen videos on YouTube of people connecting Steam Deck to an external monitor with Mouse + KB completely defeating the purpose of the device, that is being mobile and handheld. I definitely wouldn’t buy one, a All-in-one PC would a much better choice for me in that price range. How can these people play on the run outside (on a bus or train) if the games in Steam are a time sink and require a lot of patience to play them? They need a PC, a desk, a chair in a quiet room.
