- 1MachineElf 5y agoNot needing a desk to relax and comfortably play Half Life and Bethesda games on Linux seems is pretty valuable to me at least.
- kradeelav 5y agoIf the Switch has taught me anything, I play 95% of those games and hours in bed because it's nice to chill there. It'll be very lovely to have a whole game catalog (with longevity to boot) that isn't Nintendo-locked and be able to do the same.
- chaorace 5y agoYou've hit the nail on the head. The basic appeal arises from hitting the triple point of performance, cost, and portability. Much of the nerdier crowd is also excited about the consequences of the device becoming popular. The Deck might push the PC gaming Linux usershare past the critical mass necessary for real first-party support.
