What do you mean Steam Deck 2 or 3 would be impossible?
- vundercind 2y agoSteamdeck 3 being statistically impossible is a joke about Valve having an aversion to releasing a #3 of anything. Half life 1, 2… hm. Ok we’ll make three HL2 episodes to follow that up. Ep I. Ep II. Uhhhh… and let’s stop there, just like forever I guess. Portal 1. Portal 2. Left4dead. L4D2. Team Fortress. TF2. Counterstrike. CS2. Oh shit we’re releasing a third one, we might have to use the number three finally, oh no… I’ve got it: CS:Go!
- jakogut 2y agoAlso, the successor to CS:Go is...Counter-Strike 2.
- vundercind 2y agoOh damn I got the order on those mixed up. Was probably thinking of CS Source. Regardless, point stands: they hate the number 3.
- echoangle 2y agoThey’re probably doing it on purpose as a joke at this point.
- jakogut 2y agoIt would have to be, CS2 is the fourth major installment in the Counter-Strike franchise. Then again, all kinds of companies take liberties with naming including numbers. Look at Windows 7 (12th major release), Windows 10 (successor to Windows 8), the game Battlefield 2 (third in the series), Battlefield 3 (three games after BF2), Battlefield 1 (after the release of BF4), etc.
- ohmahjong 2y agoIt is a joke about Valve only rarely making the third installment in any of their series (e.g. Half Life 3 not existing) Edit: specifically including "3" in the title - the actual number of games tends to be higher but with different names.
