    Deck 2 won’t be better because just like last time people like you overhype it to science fiction. It’s not a PC that plays games, its a Linux based operating system that requires Proton. You people falsely believe Valve is promoting Linux. Hardware specs aren’t good enough and cheap Valve doesn’t want to pay more.

    Nintendo has proven to create handheld devices before Valve was a company. Valve doesn’t care about gaming, Nintendo cares about their games.

      It’s a shame Nintendo doesn’t care about their customers. I can’t buy games for wii, wiiU or 3DS, but I can still get games I bought in 2005 on steam.

      Your point about “it’s not a pc” is strange, what constitutes a pc to you?

      Gabe Newell did a whole speech on why Valve is supporting linux and free software. That’s why SteamDeck isn’t locked down. You can install windows, or play games on Linux from gog.com, or Epic Games, itch.io etc etc.

        Steam deck is lock down, so many problems would be solved if they opened source it. Proton is a software and not the reason Steam Deck is able to run games. You can install Wine and the same result will happen. No you couldn’t install any Linux, many tried.

        Trusting billionaires yes what a great answer. Why not trust Amazon, Facebook and X CEOs aswell. If you think Gable is innocent then you are ignoring the many lawsuits Valve corporations committed.

            Pretty dedicated one if so. There are comments on the account going back months talking about how valve and steam deck suck. Either got burned on a deck purchase somehow or a huge switch fanboy I figure.

              Just a dedicated troll that gets giggles from saying insane things and seeing the response.

              Steam deck closed Source = yes
              Proof it’s not? Tell me, i know you won’t find it because it’s not open source.

              Proton the reason for the ability to play windows games = yes
              You can’t play windows games on Linux, unless you’re telling me otherwise.

              Steam Deck has problems with smaller Linux operating environments = yes
              Big Linux operating environments will always have users who support steam deck unlike smaller communities. Also, Linux that do everything to protect your privacy will never allow steam deck to function because YOU AGREE IN STEAM USER AGREEMENT. To allow the program to track you.

              Valve Corporation lawsuit = yes

                Not sure what I’m wrong about. I haven’t made a single claim about any hard or software in this thread. You’re sounding a bit unhinged.

      Nintendo cares about their games so much when they come out with a new system they dont even let you purchase games from the previous system anymore. Nintendo lets things die. And they also sell their games at insane prices with lackluster specs. You can buy Doom on the switch that youd be lucky to get 30fps out of for about $60 probably $50 used for the switch. You can buy a used ps4 version of it that will run almost twice as fast for like $10 maybe $15. Mixed in with the fact that nintendo throws people in prison for remixing or even releasing period soundtracks to games many that NINTENDO WONT EVEN LET YOU BUY FROM THEM. Yeah thats a grreeeaaaatt company that cares about their games and community alright. Lmfao also it is hilarious someone defending the Switch talking about subpar hardware my phone can run games at a higher fps than my switch

        Great examples. I actually bought Doom (2016) on my Switch on sale for like $40 only to realize it runs at like 20 fps and was totally unplayable. Meanwhile in December I bought every Doom game in a Steam bundle for $15 during the winter sale and they all play 60fps on my Steam Deck OLED. I’m never playing my Switch again
