I passed it to chatgpt. It does seem like he wrote it. At least, he is consistent.
Guru, do you know what "confirmation bias" is? A direct definition is that confirmation bias is the tendency to search for, interpret, favor and recall information in a way that confirms or supports one's prior beliefs or values.
Basically, there's no shortage of negativity towards the Steam Deck on the Internet, and if you have a negative option of it from the start, you will have no problem finding plenty of information supporting your opinion. This may lead you to believe that your opinion is the correct one.
If you step outside your own little mental bubble though and look at the bigger picture, you'll find it falls apart.
1st, Valve has stated they've sold "multiple millions" of Steam Decks, and that was in 2023. Last February on the Steam Deck's 3rd anniversary, a market research firm calculated that approximately 4 million Steam Decks have been sold[www.theverge.com], which is estimated by that same firm to be more than all the other competing PC handhelds combined.
2nd, with 4 million sold, if even 0.25% of them had issues (be they with the hardware itself, user error, or incorrect expectations for what it is), that's still 10,000 Steam Decks with problems, which is more than enough to fill a forum with complaints. People who have a problem are much more likely to go online and say something about it than people who do not have a problem. If there are 10,000 people with complaints, that leaves 3,990,000 people who are just happily enjoying their perfectly functional Steam Decks.
3rd, if you look at the Steam Top Sellers list, the Steam Deck has very consistently stayed near the top, averaging at around #4. It's #2 as I write this. Of course, this list is based on revenue and not units sold, and a Steam Deck cost much more than even a new AAA game release, but it's very consistent position near the top, even three years later, indicates that sales of the device have remained steady the entire time.
Setting your bizarre writing style, emotionally charged rambling, and complete lack of sources and evidence aside, why do you personally want the Steam Deck to be a failure so badly?
It takes dedication to keep this up after, what, 3 years and how many bans? It ain't healthy that's for sure.
on my Post? Then afterwards write another Novel on my own
response to ChatGPT in my own Edition of AI Format? Na, I
don't think i'm gonna do that.
It was a nice analysis report, though.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
"confirmation bias" is?
We'll I hear People use the words bias an awful lot,
or supremacy, or racism quite a bit, socialism, & autamation...
Quite frankly I don't dolve into Ideologies...
I'm surprised young kids actually do,
because I would of thought they would
be anti stuff like that...
Its the same as Identity, why Identify as something,
if all it does is define you as that something, or also
places a label on you...
According to that, you mise well put your name on
a milk carton, & place your photo with it, since you
like labeling yourself so much, or put your name on
a sign & see if anyone will buy it.
Does not make sense to put labels on stuff like that... ~_~
At the end of the Day? It is night actually,
but sooo, according to this, you are ummm...
confirm bias to looking something up
for what i've written?
Soooo, while I can write stuff, & respond to it on the min,
you require more time to look it up, search for it, & have
your information ready before you respond, but after all
that looking up? You just result to ChatGPT to do it for
you after all that, anyways?
Wouldn't it be faster to respond
without requiring the help of ChatGPT?
-----------------------------------------------------------
if you have a negative option of it from the start,
you will have no problem finding plenty of
information supporting your opinion.
I never gave a negative response here.
All I Asked was do People think it's s Scam
after still replying about all the problems
still there.
That doesn't mean I said it's a scam, or that it's bad.
I even went on to say, if people like the Deck,
then great for them.
I was just meerly asking for an opinion from some People.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Hardware Sales don't matter, if the return rate is a high %tage.
--- That would be false advertising
If say: You sold $400,000 worth of STEAM Decks,
& Just didn't tell anyone that you got refunded by
the Decks of $250,000.
So you advertised how great it is, & that you made $400,000,
but really you only sold $150,000 worth of STEAM Decks,
& you lost $250,000 worth of money on that $150,000...
Meaning you didn't break Even at all, & your sales bombed...
but according to your Market Advertising,
it's saying you sold $400,000 & made money...
My Point Is:
Hardware Sales don't matter,
if you had refunds or product repairs,
or People quit, & left, & stopped using the Deck...
Hardware Sales also don't matter if People aren't
actually using the product at all that your paying
a service for them to use... That Service takes a
hit from costs if nobody or low numbers of People
are on the Service.
Same happens if a Game Server Shuts Down
due to lack of People on it playing the Games...
----------------------------------------------------
Another Point Is This:
if you look at the Steam Top Sellers list.
How trusting is that information?
STEAM Own Game Forum Review System
Has Been Made Up By People Trying To
Control The Forums, & Valve Just Lets Them
Do It. Who's to say the same instance is
not done for STEAM Top Sellers List?
What is the propability of it lying about the numbers?
---------------------------------------------------------
sad how much of a hate-on this guy has for the Steam Deck.
Why would I in any way like the STEAM Deck?
What's it got, I don't already have?
What's it got, that someone hasn't
already come up with a better idea for?
What's new about STEAM Deck that everyone is facinated with?
The product was already pre-done by Razer & Nintendo,
all Valve did was copy them, o___@
Like do any of you even know what makes STEAM Deck so great at all?
If your response is that it can play STEAM Games,
then I'd have to say, so can many others...
What makes STEAM Deck so great?
Anyone got an answer?
I do not use ChatGPT. I write my own responses. It is a little frustrating sometimes when my posts are accused of being written by an AI, just because things are spelled correctly, I use punctuation, and I try and ensure my posts read well and make sense. I could probably stand to be more succinct though. I'm working on that.
Cool. The answer is "no", it's not a scam. Next question.
Do you have data on the return rate? I certainly don't. Suggesting the return rate is high without evidence sounds like wishful thinking on your part.
One thing we do have is the Steam Hardware Survey, which provides some useful data.
In 2021, before the Steam Deck was out, Linux use was under 1%, compared to Mac users at 2.51%. Today, Linux use is at 2.27% and Mac use is at 1.62%. So other than the fact that Linux adoption has more than doubled since the Steam Deck came out, if you look at the data for what versions of Linux people are using, "SteamOS" absolutely dominates at 33.78% of all Linux users on Steam. The runner up is "Arch Linux", at 9.45%. The most common GPU among Linux users is also the custom Van Gogh chip present only in the Steam Deck. All of this suggests that the huge increase in Linux adoption is primarily driven by the Steam Deck. If the Deck were a "scam", as you've suggested with massive return rates, we wouldn't be seeing these kinds of increases. You also have game developers, who do have access to certain stats on their own game, surprised by the number of people playing their game on Steam Deck. One developer I read mentioned that of all the people playing their game with a controller, most of them were using a Steam Deck.
None of that indicates a high return rate or dissatisfaction with the Steam Deck. Just the opposite, in fact.
Hitchen's Razor: What can be asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence. Anyway, the stats I posted above suggest the opposite.
Pretty minimal. Why would Valve have a reason to falsify those stats? Also your lack of data doesn't invalidate the data.
Unprecedented and ongoing support by Valve. Excellent efficiency, with an elegant balance of power consumption to performance, and better battery life than the competition. Amazing control options, allowing even games not designed for a controller to be played with ease. The Deck is also the driving force behind Valve's Proton, which is the only reason why most Windows games even work on Linux. Valve is single-handedly making Linux a viable OS for gaming and giving people a possible escape route from Windows.
Oh, and it plays Steam games in a portable, handheld format. That's great too.
Actually, It Is An Ideology...
It's A Word That Labels Things That People Become Attached With...
An Ideology, A Belief In This Of Which They've Become Attached To...
Bias Mostly Might Be A Word & An English Word, Sure,
But It's A Word Surrounded Around Labels, Identities,
& Governed Control Of Things...
You Don't Want To Be Called Male Or Female, So You Get Angry
When Someone Wrongly Labels You As What You Believe You Are...
If You Just Don't Use Labels At All, Don't Addess Someone At All,
You Can Skip The Whole Argument All Together...
You Don't Have To Be Worried About Someone Labeling You,
& Don't Have To Worry About Wrongly Being Labeled As Well,
Then On Top Of That, You Also Avoid Debates, & Arguments On
The Very Same Subject As Well...
Instead Of By Name Or By Mr Mss, Binary, Whatever Gender, Male, Female...
Just Say Hi, Or Hello, & Skip That Label All Together...
It Would Solve A Lot Of The Arguing Problems Today, Would It Not??
I'm Just Saying Here, This Is Just A Gender Thing,
But If You Dis-Use Many Ideologies, & Just Be Free Minded,
& Let Things Just Flow Out, & Come Out, & Just Not Worry About It,
Not Worry About What Is Said, Or How It's Said...
You End Up Feeling A Whole Lot Better About The Outcome...
--------------------------------------------------------------------
No, This Is Not A Culture Thing, It's Ajacent Or Objectively
Not Cultural, Or Against Culture...
But I Came Up With It On My Own A Long Time Ago,
Just Simply, Cause I Figured One Day A Label Would
Probably Down The Line Be A Problem With Someone...
It Wasn't A Problem Then, But What If One Day Someone
Didn't Want To Be He Or She Anymore...
Not Labeling Them At All, Could Avoid That All Together...
Again, You Can Apply This To Many Words, & Things,
It's Not Just Gender, It Can Be About Bias, & Other Things, Too...
Am I Wrong??
Would you believe me if I said yes?
You Didn't Explain Why Or How I'm Wrong??f
You Can't Do It, You Can't Explain It,
Which Kinda Sounds Like You Don't
Know What Your Talking About...
Iam not a fanboy or try to defend or justified steam, i own Steamdeck since first released and thing was quite well, been facing a lot trouble but the community like steam or reddit quite help, if you talked how many i re-install steamOS is also a lot, if this make me hated this device ? LOL not. my second steamdeck was coming with defect charger, that was brand new too.
dude, what product same like SD by those brand, Razer kishi ? or Nintendo switch ?, steam come with handheld idea for Pc game (even by help linux and Proton, and also not first one) i meant they bring back era of gaming handheld back like sony did with PSP, even now too cunky. after it market handheld goes booming again, too impactful than when nintendo switch released. but like you said
yeah i liked this product, i cant aggree with your opinion but i respect it. its not for all people product.
