Fascinating stuff. I think we'll see a new category emerge in studies like this for Steam Deck, ROG Ally, a Sony's (ridiculous) project Q. I think these devices have more to do with each other than they do with PC or console - at least when it comes to player behaviour and use case

I'm not sure the Project Q fits in here. It doesn't play games on its own, just streams them. Sounds like it has more in common with the Logitech G Cloud.

Yeah I think these hardware created their own category, handheld PCs. Separate from PC, console and handheld consoles.

I wonder where cloud gaming fits in, I play pc games through steamlink to my phone pretty often

What games? How well does that work? I find that even streaming to my MacBook from my Steam Deck is insanely slow.

I use Parsec instead of Steam link and it works really well

mostly platformers it works well enough for me even remote using my phones 5g to my home , eastward, and graveyard keeper are the ones I played the most this way, I tried moonlighter as well but sometimes it gets a bit blocky and its not fun when it happens when youre trying not to die, most of the time though I play while at home on the couch, Im pretty close to one of my wifi 6 access points there so it looks great
