As much as I love the SD this is such a common problem it’s ridiculous. This could be (mostly) remedied if Valve just didn’t use the most obvious packaging ever.

In the UK my Steam Deck arrived in a largely ordinary looking cardboard box, except for a Companion Cube themed “This Way Up” sign and small logo next to the handling warnings.

A lot, but I think the people that get the most use are husbands and dads. For example my wife likes to hang out upstairs and not feel so disconnected so we can talk still. Steam deck is great for this and progressing single player games.
