Wait, but Steam doesn't have Android games, right?

While I welcome Android games on Steam, a part of me is repulsed by how Android game devs treat their customers; in-game ads, horrendous amount of mtx, p2w. Not saying that Steam games don't suffer mtx but it's way lesser.

Anyway, let's see how it goes.

The main problem is the amount of REALLY bad games. It's very hard to find decent games, most of them are intentionally unplayable garbage.

We need a dedicated Green Light with Dev guidelines for Android games. Or at least a separate store section for them. I really don't want to get flooded by low-effort mobile games.

Honestly Steam is WAY overdue for an Android store.

Although it seems like putting the cart before the horse if they're developing Android support for Steam Deck before launching a game store.

Yeah. Stream your android games from your phone to your steam deck so you can stream them to your phone!

Stream the stream from your stream to stream it to your stream.

Which is what they're rumored to be working on. Hence the post.
