I pre ordered my deck on mostly a whim and also because i couldn't get my hand on a decent graphic card around 2021/2022. I used to think that the idea of portable gaming PC was kinda dumb : It's like a gaming laptop and worst in every way.
But i have to admit that i was very wrong, and in the now 8 month i have had the device, it been my main vector for playing games and by a long shot.
The interesting thing about this device, at least in my case his that it changed my preferences in term of which game i buy and mostly play. I almost never play big AAA anymore and nowday focus on simple indie/pixel arts/2D games and for that this console really shines. Actually i would love to trade some of that CPU/APU performance for a better AMOLED screen and smaller size.
Now if only MSFT could also launch a portable console tied to a game pass subscription... One can only dream

- soulbadguy 4y agoYeah i tried that, but the experience is not that great. The main issue is that the steam deck inputs only work as steaminput (vs xinput) so only work natively with steam games. I have seen some third party app to convert, but never had the patience to try them.

- soulbadguy 4y agoomg! thanks
- Zhyl 4y ago> Now if only MSFT could also launch a portable console tied to a game pass subscription... One can only dream The success of the Steam Deck and the success of Game pass means that I guarantee that MS have at the very least got an email chain around this possibility going on at the moment.
- soulbadguy 4y agoI am not sure a steam deck like device would fit in MSFT gaming strategy. I think they would much prefer sell people something closer to logitech G cloud and push them toward their current cloud offerings.

- pja 4y agoA HumbleBundle subscription used to be pretty close to GamePass in quality, but I’m not sure if that’s still the case? Worth checking out though.
