    Yeah it can be a hassle, but is it such a hassle people would rather buy this specific handheld to play the handful of multiplayer games a steamdeck cant?

    Not to mention theyre mainly esports titles that people prefer not to play on an underpowered handheld anyways…

      I mean it’s partly that it’s a hassle but it’s mostly that it’s a shit experience that nobody wants.

      This thing, in theory, gives them the games they want without the shitty experience that is Windows.

        I mean if they really nail the UI, and i mean REALLY nail it(which involves nailing game/launcher compatibility as well)…

        Then maybe this handheld will forge the way for a new windows gaming OS.

        But even then without an Xbox game compatibility layer, they arent going to convert any steam users at all.

          They’ve already converted thousands of users without it.

            What do you mean? Gamepass users? You can use gamepass on ANY device, including steamdeck. Idk if paying another $500-$1000 usd is worth it for most people to have a slightly more convenient gamepass handheld experience.

              We’re going around in circles. We’ve already been over this.
