It is not “biggest game library on earth” I bet, that would still be a high-end desktop running windows…
I think they mean “console library”
Steam deck has an emulator so it should
Lol
But then you are running windows…
Yes, but it has still a bigger game library as steam deck has and thus calling steam deck having “bigges game library on earth” is just bullshit.
But maybe there is a joke in that, that woooshed over me…
steam deck can run windows afaik
Can run most windows games via proton atleast.
But has not the power to run all the games a high end desktop can.
Yeah but a Deck is a Pc, which can absolutely run Windows. Therefore, they are the same thing. A high end PC AND a steam deck feature the “Biggest game library on earth”.
Doesn’t even have to run well. The fact that you can attempt to play it in the first place let’s it win the medal.
Any version of Playstation can’t even attempt to play half the games on a deck ;).
You could put Windows on the deck if you’re inclined to do so
But you can still not run all games that a high end desktop can
At this point, it’ll be easier to count the games that wouldnt work on the steam deck.
Fair, still not biggest library on earth
So what would hold that title?
High end windows laptop
And I see that one can argue that try running it is good enough, but instant crashing file would I myself not call a member of the game library. If that would be the case, any device that is able to download files has the “biggest game library“
The deck can run windows, so if it didnt run in compatability mode in linux itll work in native windows. Now if you were to put a limitation that it must acheive 30fps in any game, you might have a point, but… thats really grasping for straws.
My point is that it has at least not to crash instantly on try to start. There are some games that do that on the deck 😇
While this is technically correct, it still doesn’t matter. I have built my own high end PCs in the past and it is a huge waste. I’m not even sold on the steam deck yet - I do all my non- critical stuff like lemmy on this 10 year old shit tablet running Android 7
Never told that it matters 😇 I game on an nvida 980 endeavourOS PC myself. Steam deck is probably able to run more games than that 😂
