The steam deck is an awesome device

[Mr Jt (Gog is king)]

And i also fall in love with linux already. I didn’t expect that every windows only game is perfectly playable also on gog. There are also games which don’t work on my win10 pc like nox which works perfectly with wine.

What would you convince you to get a deck? Seriously a handheld pc is an awesome device

If the POTUS pays me the $2,000 he owes me, I'll pick up a Steam Deck.

You need to convince valve to sell it here first.

Battery that isn't glued in.

And i hope they don't stop here, new versions with new hardware generations would be dope.

I just don't like gaming on small devices. Never will. I'm always home, no reason to have portability.

There will be more steam decks in the future for sure. At some point i will delete windows and throw the steam os on my pc as well. It’s great

Steam deck is just overrated
If you only play indie games ,yeah they are cool for that, they overall dont require too much power, so ...smooth gameplay...yeah they are cool for that but most indies are just bad and spending 500 euro for that... Not cool
Yeah, cool you can emulate switch or older Nintendo consoles but sometimes stutters and most importantly you cant play online with the ppl who have a switch
Also will anyone actually dedicate a lot of their time to play older Nintendo games? I pretty much highly doubt it
Not even for games that are alredy easy to run and require lot of FPS is useful (csgo, valorant...) On my laptop I get more FPS lmao

Basically if you alredy have a decent pc ,having a deck is just pointless, add to that if you arent a person who doesnt rly move a lot which is nowadays common after covid and you have another reason to not buy it

But hey, you can use your keyboard and mouse on it, thats honestly the only positive here but an important one
And also you can install Linux on your normal pc... I honestly had lot of trouble with Linux distros and Windows just worked for me

Considering how games requirements keep going up, how most ppl dont even play indie games, the lack of mobility of most individuals and that having a normal pc is just a better and more viable option... Highly doubt it

Maybe some more individuals will buy it ,but it will exactly the same as Steam controller

Not saying deck and Steam controller are bad but it just doesnt satisfy the necesity of most individuals

Don't need any convincing, per se, just don't have a need for a handheld PC. Portability isn't a concern for me at this point in time.

I wouldn't mind to get one, I just don't know if I would use it enough to justify the cost.

Well, having an actual PC that can run games well, for a start.

That’s more of a priority than a Steam Deck, at the current moment.

I do not think it is a terrible device but personally I just do not see a time when I can or would want to use a Steam Deck away from home. It is too big and too heavy, I have no need for a dock as I already have a PC and laptop. Honestly for me at least there is not a compelling reason to buy one.

[DRUNK_CANADIAN]

Its ok at best.

Def Linux is better than Windows but the Steam Deck has a host of problems.

Is it good for a budget PC/gaming device sure, but any built rig with real part investment would be better.
