I fully agree with them. The SteamDeck as it is right now is fine. If they release another SteamDeck, the difference between it and the original two should be night and day. There should be absolutely no drawbacks to upgrading and it should be a no-brainer (provided you have the money for it). If yo

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.

You got me. It's me, Jeff Bezos. I need even more billions by tapping into the Steam Deck enthusiast market.

It's smart for ASUS to position closer to Steam Deck price - it performs similarly and there's a gap in the market with Steam Deck being out of stock most places now. I dare them to go even lower, let's see $399!!

What I'm going to say may be controversial in this sub, but I don't see the Steam Machine making a big difference here, the Steam Deck, even though not produced for retailers like other devices, had the advantage of being portable, which is arguably more appealing to the masses (and easier to justif

I got my SteamDeck late, so more powerful PC handhelds were already available. I still went with the SD because of the seamless Steam integration, Valve's long-term support, the large user base (easy to get help), sizable aftermarket and third party accessories, and Valve's tremendous contributions

It works just like a steam deck and has the same functions too. It’s just another competitive handheld gaming console. she could try with a steam deck but last time I check they’re still out of stock 😅 either way it’s another impulsive purchase on her end
