On the Steam store they've done a great job with their certification program for the Steam Deck.
replyAlso, I don't think their target market is people who don't own any Steam games yet. It's going to be people with already extensive back catalogues on Steam.
I disagree. I see this becoming an Xbox/PlayStation killer/contender.
replyThey currently don’t accept orders from people without an existing Steam purchase from before May. (Otherwise I might have been interested.)
replyI imagine that this is primarily for preorders and will be dropped as soon as there is sufficient stock.
replyNow game devs can optimised their game for it and Steam Machine will get royal treatment. It's not unusual for a PS5 game to run slow on a PC with much better hardware due to not being optimised. The Nintendo switch is a great example, pretty old hardware but the games run well (for their intended experience).
replyMany people are complaining about the price but you can bring you entire steam game collection and even use as a PC if you want, I sold my PS5 once it became a useless brick cause Sony prevents you from running Linux.
True. But if it doesn't work, a refund is quick and easy
