What are your thoughts about games getting negative reviews because they're incompatible with steamdeck?
this would be my thought, if the game says Steam Deck verified and it doesn't play well then it deserves that negative review. A game just not working and doesn't claim to is a whole other thing.

I am afraid I can't do that, Dave
Unless you put in the steam launch option to pretend your PC is a steam deck. Then a lot of games will cooperate lol.

How often do you use your Steam Deck at home when you already have a gaming PC?
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.

Skate hits 100K players on Steam
It's insane to me it doesn't have Steam Deck/Linux support. It's the perfect device for it.

Thoughts on the Xbox Ally OS, compared to Steam OS?
Seems like they're also introducing a system similar to valves "steam deck verified" badges, as well as optimising windows for handhelds Interested in seeing what the future brings between Microsoft and Valve

I’ve won a new steam deck
For me personally steamOS was one of the selling points of the deck and I’ve never wanted for windows

A realization after owning nearly every major handheld: It's not about the specs.
Until a competitor does a console with track pads and back buttons the Steam Deck will remain unrivalled as far as I'm concerned. It's insane to me that none of the other handhelds have implemented these.

Linux smashes past 5% on the Steam Survey for the first time
The SteamDeck made see that it is possible to run games perfectly fine on linux. It was the one thing that kept me on Windows. I made the switch with my desktop 3 weeks ago, I installed Nobara and haven't looked back since.

I'm newly disabled and cant game anymore on PC
I’m in a similar situation where I can’t sit for too long. There are a couple of solutions you can try to use. As Steam said, Steam Remote Play or better yet, Moonlight Game Streaming. With Moonlight, you can stream your pc to any device and remote control your PC from anywhere in your house. I use

I open steam 5 years later and my csgo cases are worth 150€ now!
I came back after 7 years and had a bunch of stuff I could sell. Used it to buy a Steam Deck. Best purchase I think. Turning virtual items into hardware was pretty neat.
