  1. This isn't news. The lead engineer on the Deck has made this point since launch:

    Q: The specs of the Steam Deck are pretty high compared to other mobile or handheld PCs. Do you think the Steam Deck has reached the limits of performance on a handheld device?

     

    Pierre-Loup: Yes and no, I think it’s pretty much close to the limit of what’s possible right now, but obviously pc technology is always moving forward, the GPU architecture is going to get better, and we’re watching that closely. At some point, it will make sense to try to see if we can make a custom part that could be developed, but we’re not going to be looking at that for a couple of years because there is a lot of value in having the same spec for every device, so users know that the Steam Deck can run the same set of games, and developers only have one target to reach.

    PC technology is such that it’s always going forward and we’re very cognizant of that. I do think that there’s a lot we can do to improve in terms of the display for the Steam Deck though.

  2. There's a huge fucking difference between buying all/most of your games digitally in a context where there are still retail discs vs first parties having a total monopoly on distribution/pricing.

     

    As it is, Valve built a great reputation for fair pricing. Sony is quite a bit worse. MS a bit worse still. Nintendo fucking terrible. Digital only on consoles will be bad for players, and will certainly lead to higher prices on average.

     

    It's funny how even as Xbox circles the drain, MS stays at the forefront of anti-consumer policies. :trump:
