lol, ‘Rival’ I’m sure Valve cares much more about the 30% take of Steam games sold on other handhelds than they do about selling more Steam Decks
Steam Machines showed them they needed to enforce a quality floor that other manufacturers would need to exceed.
Yes, I'm still mad Steam Machines didn't take off.
We now have mini pcs. Steam machines were too ahead of their time.
A Steam Deck is a Steam Machine by another name. This is that vision realized.
Yeah, and I think they will support non-handheld devices for using the SteamOS branding. I think we'll end up seeing a MiniPC using one of AMDs APUs at some point soon that has official support.
rock on, dog! same here, maybe Valve will take another swing at that ball
