Comment on The Steam Machine calls itself steamdeck in my network

SteamOS in seems to have references to the deck all over the place, if I recall correctly from the GN video I watched. It was one of their criticisms. Overall I’m not sure it was really fully baked before shipping.

The Deck also wasn’t fully baked when it shipped.
I was hoping their experience with the Deck would have them not repeat the same mistake with the Machine…

One might say the Deck still isn’t fully baked. I got mine a few months ago, so well after it launched, and there were still some rough edges. For example, I wasn’t able to redeem the OLED goodies (startup animation and keyboard theme). Steam Support advised me to switch to the SteamOS beta at the time, which worked. So the release version of SteamOS had a known redemption bug for months, likely to affect a large number of new users? Sure it’s a small thing, but exactly what I mean by not fully baked.
I have some other nitpicks with it but overall I’ll admit it works quite well.
