I’m not personally in the market for a Steam Deck, but I am still incredibly grateful to Valve for all the work they’ve done to support Linux on the desktop as a byproduct.
this is amazing news. i love that the incentive to ensure games run well on proton is just getting stronger every day
Not really surprised tbh, Steam has pushed this thing like crazy. Good for them though. They made a great product that filled a big gap in the gaming industry and pushed others to follow. We’ll see a lot of innovations in this space similar to cell phones. I’m excited by the idea that in 10-15 years I’ll have a portable computer in my pocket with the same capabilities as my home machine. The future is bright.
If only valve offically sells on my country, i would love to insta buy one
Is it measured by $ or amount of purchases? Because if it’s $ then I’m not surprised :)
To be fair, even if it was $, most Steam Decks costs around (or less) than one tenth of a triple A game’s price. Selling hardware in this quantity is insanity.
Edit: 10 times. Not one tenth. Oops. I meant that they need to sell less than 1/10th in VOLUME to match the sum of a triple A game. And selling that much hardware is really impressive in my opinion.
Are you by chance confusing Steam Decks with Steam Links?
OMFG I MEANT 10X THE PRICE, NOT ONE TENTH. sorry for the confusion 😅
The message was that the deck has to sell less than 1/10th as many “units” as a triple A game to match the price sum. So imagine hardware selling 1/10th that of a single software. Pretty impressive.
Hell, I went for the longest time resisting the urge to get one, as I have a great gaming laptop (RTX 3070ti,) and eventually caved in. The draw of being able to play anywhere, anytime, plus the hype, is what eventually convinced me. The Steam Deck is pretty amazing, and worth every penny.
I am only be able to resist cause I work from home and does not have much time outside and play. But recently I am reevaluate that cause my son is slowly getting better at playing games so I really can have some side device that allows me to play on the side or together with him.
That’s the precise reason I wanted one. I’m sitting at my desk for seven hours already, I don’t want to spend my lesuire time there too, not I can play 4x games laying on the sofa.
I got a deck and a dock, and plugged the dock into my TV. So now I play it lying in the couch in two different ways.
