- Comment on How good is the Steam Deck really? (Not a gamer) 2 months ago:
The only things I’ve found that just straight up don’t work on the deck are things with draconian anti-cheat (which don’t work on Linux in general, not just the deck), and very old titles that have weirdly restrictive resolutions or control schemes or whathaveyou. Some games require some tweaking (mostly around controls, occasionally changing the Proton version, which is very to do within Steam), but generally that’s been minor. The things that don’t work well are typically things you wouldn’t expect to work anyway.
It’s a fantastic piece of hardware for gaming. Looks great, feels great. It’s a bit large (won’t fit in a pocket, obviously), but that shouldn’t be a problem for anyone who would reasonably want a handheld gaming PC. It’s not a phone or a Gameboy.
I was without a desktop PC for a week or so due to a hardware failure, and was able to do everything I needed to do on the Steam Deck (with a USB mouse/keyboard, plugged into a monitor via a dock). So it’s a great piece of hardware even for that.

And even if it is, will a company with 39 billion in net income last year even care?
- Comment on Steam Deck Users Account for 10% Of All Players Using Steam Input 4 months ago:
It’s 10% of users using Steam Input, not all steam users.
Valve mentioned that daily controller use has jumped to 15% from around 5% since 2018, and that around 42% of these sessions use Steam Input.
- Comment on Microsoft Gaming CEO: “I think we should have a handheld, too” 5 months ago:
I doubt even Microsoft are stupid enough to think they could release a PC-based gaming handheld without Steam support and not fail spectacularly.
