    Wow so they’re not abandoning their most successful hardware product ever which has carved their own private niche of a market that has been crying out for this since the beginning of video games? What a shocker lol

    Great to hear, look forward to big things! Would love a more open Steam Deck that allows upgrades. Possibly impossible with the form factor, though I’d be ok with a chunkier machine in exchange.

    It’s Valve. They are probably just gonna forget about it like they did with the plans for their games or it’ll be in Valve time lol.

    This is a successful project that they have invested millions of dollars into. It’s managing to let Valve break into a totally new market segment, so obviously there is a roadmap?

    Well, good for them. I won’t be buying another after baiting us to buy their expensive paper weight/shitty indie game device, then immediately releasing the model that should’ve been the first, making us alpha testers.

    Less than 1% of users of steam have bought a steamdeck? I would have thought more but I don’t know how many users steam has in the first place.

      As a potential Deck buyer, it doesn’t sell in my country via Valve, I would need to use a third party Seller, therefore the likely thousands of people like me wouldn’t really register in their statistics.

    They will cause it is everything they wanted from a steam machine but did not have the confidence to do.

    Steam machines wanted to stop the hardware arms race, since it was killing pc gaming… as it is today. 1200 for a good gaming pc… 2k for a great one. So if they have a console like pc that forces game makers to work on a low end pc, then all great for pc game sales (and steam sales).

    This is great news. I hope that one day that thing will be better than my PC. Hopefully in a couple of years it can perform at least 60 fps 1080p reasonably.
