If you try to run any new AAA title on any current handheld you're going to have a bad time and bad battery life IMO. I think you could even extend this to modestly old gaming rigs that already struggle badly with poorly optimised new titles.

I see the Deck praised often for its emulation capabilities and indie game performance - and to be honest those aspects are appealing enough to me if I was interested in buying another portable computer.

This is the new Steam Link

Out of curiosity, what makes you think this?

I doubt this is the case as thin client gaming accessories are a very niche product, and the Deck hardware is grossly overqualified in this regard IMO

It's always hilarious when kids with no knowledge talk about Valve's hardware. Like... none of it has ever been developed to make money. Steam makes so goddamn much money they're literally just pissing around with R&D because it's fun.

No, the #steam deck is just an attempt to secure their longevity if #Microsoft tries to kick them from #windows.

The steam deck is also a way to get people to buy more games.

Kick them from Windows? You mean "piss off literally every game developer, publisher, and player to the point of antitrust lawsuits from multiple entities."

But go on being literally insane with conspiracy horseshit.

@CapraObscura

I am not saying that it is likely. But Microsoft is trying to push their own store fronts quite heavily.

Besides, valve has been trying to push linux for a long time. Remember the steam machines?

Being the best OS for gaming gives Microsoft a lot of power.
