Valve employees, I know y'all lurk... Please, tell whoever you need to: DO NOT ship the new Steam hardware in shipping boxes that scream what is inside.

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. Nothing over the top, but enough to alert anyone looking for deliveries to snag. It’s cute, but yeah. Please don’t do this.

The SteamDeck is pocketable.

The Steam Deck is a lot like baked lasagna; it can fit in your pocket but why would you

What do you think the SD is lacking? / What's your biggest complaint about it?

Another USB C port would be awesome. And better hardware of course, so I can also play new AAA games. And not really related to the deck it self but the steam shop kinda sucks on the deck.

At what price would you NOTbuy the Steam Machine?

I don't get the target audience, I can justify a steam deck because it's portable but unless it's cheaper than just buying a PC, why wouldn't I get a normal PC build for everything not just taylored for gaming

Steam Deck is still worth it four years later, says poll, but people are starting to think "it's about time" for a sequel

Worst time to be thinking that given the current state of the market I don't know why people are wanting this new hardware released NOW of all times, shortages would make prices ridiculous. Keep the Steam Deck 2 away until prices go back to normal (whenever that is), same for the Steam Machine and F
