Quoting: ArehandoroI didn't know of the existence of such device, but it might be what I'm looking for. If only had a SIM module, so we could install Phosh and use it as a tablet/phone as well...

EDIT: Just saw the price. Maybe it's not what I want after all.

A PinePhone with physical keyboard could be an alternative.

I owned one, and not quite there yet.

If they make it free, they could also make it open source.

"don’t think it will deliver anything revolutionary that isn’t currently being delivered by the Switch"

Except a humongous game library from Steam, GOG, emulators, etc, and the fact that we don't really have something like the Switch on PC (And on Linux!)

Besides, what if it doesn't deliver anything revolutionary? PlayStation 4 didn't deliver anything revolutionary from PS3 and it still sold 100 millions units.

Switch brought a holistic approach to playing games on Nintendo hardware, mainly due to limitations from their part to develop for 2 different consoles, but also seeing the demographics, particularly of Japan, very well. At least before the pandemic, anyway.

A similar device for PC is a very good idea. Personally, I believe it will work better than Steam Machines, and somewhat successful, but not enough to create a trend between manufacturers.

It's always 12pm, and sunny, somewhere when it comes to Wine.

Quoting: BielFPsMicrosoft to do list:
[x] Bethesda
[x] Activision
[ ] Epic Games

Don't forget Nintendo off that list :wink:

If Nintendo wants to survive in this mega-corps acquisitions era, they should purchase SEGA, and Square-Enix, and maybe do an alliance with Valve to bring some of their titles to PC.

But another gaming crash is nigh. Who knows what will happen.

Quoting: BielFPs

Quoting: ArehandoroMy order availability now says after Q2 2022.

All these delays might make steam deck miss the hype train. I think if the experience isn't already good on arrival, this could make Deck fail on start too.

Agreed, experience needs to be good on arrival. The delay for me isn't a big deal, might give me the chance to play Breath of the Wild 2 before.

Quoting: BielFPsValve should also release a new game with deck in mind to show the device qualities, like other "consoles" usually do.

This is a very good idea, but considering no one has mentioned it before, I'm afraid there isn't anything in development for the Deck's launch (I really want to be wrong here)
