Games run perfectly on Steam Deck. Made by valve. Think about it.

All I have been asking for after the steam deck is Half life 3. Does anyone know anything about it?
I’m perfectly fine if they never make another game again.
Not that I wouldn’t want that, but all of the work they’ve done to help games run on Linux has been a huge boon for PC gaming IMO.
Between Steam OS, Proton, Steam Input etc they’re giving us a viable future without Windows and we’re able to consolize PC gaming. I’d much rather they continue building on that.
Plus I need a Steam Controller that has the same controls as the Deck. So that first before any new games.
The reason for the ASUS ROG Ally is because of the Steam Deck, as well as Sony and others taking note and looking at their own projects (Sony announced something they pushed as a Switch-like device but it’s really two halves of a PS5 controller and remote play on a screen to my understanding). The recent remote play for consoles craze (Microsoft really pushing this, as are Sony, and Google tried) is mostly because of Steam Remote Play. The reason for the last 10 years of loot boxes is because the industry looked at Valve’s implementation of loot boxes in TF2 way back when and said “we want a piece of that pie”. The early access craze of every release has its roots in when Steam allowed early access games, and became a sort of game Kickstarter where people would purchase alpha builds and beta builds and then hope for a satisfying game as the devs catered to what players said in feedback.
In a lot of ways Valve is the biggest industry leader in games, of course never really acknowledged though being they don’t aspire to have the profile of Nintendo, Microsoft, Sony, etc but their tech is watched keenly.
Valve don’t care about making games anymore lol

HL3 confirmed?
I remember an interview with Gabe where he was talking about how Nintendo have this software advantage for first party titles because they design the hardware and it enables them to make unique experiences. The same could be said for valve now and I remember thinking they would make some crazy shit for the deck and VR. We’ve had HL:A and desk job and both are universally loved, so it’s a shame we haven’t had more from them to show the industry how to make use of the unique capabilities of the hardware. I even expected more games to demonstrate the steam controller but they did nothing with it.
No they should make more hardware. Namely, a Steam Machine that can stream highest end AAA games to my Deck in 800p with suspend/resume supported, path tracing etc.
You can remote play now, you dream already here
Yah I’m not sure I get the steam machine appeal unless they can pull it off at a much lower price point than an equivalent PC.
My gaming pc can do all of what it’d do and I already stream it to my living room.
it would be possible with a custom chiplet based apu to make a steam machine notably cheaper than equivalent pc, and in a more console form factor. But i think to properly sell it thez would have to maybe use it as a base station for a new index, so people that want standalone vr can come close to that but at pc level performance, while both parts also have uses in themselves as pc replacement or with a high end pc
Hear me out, let them concentrate on a Steam Deck 2 so they can abandoned the Steam Deck, and concentrate on a Steam watch or something.
Half-Life 2: Episode 3 is the 9/11 of gaming. Never forget. The Steam Deck is amazing but Valve, I will never forget what you did (or rather, didn’t do).
Yeah I was thinking about a htpc setup with new i9 and a rtx 3080ti which I have laying around
Valve never has to make another game. They can just keep doing their store and still be good forever. Gabe Newell is a smart man and really is a gamer first.
I’m just sad we’ll never get a Steamdeck 3
I suspect they’re already in the production of some.
It would be lovely if Valve found some time to work on Portal 3 with an even longer co-op campaign.
