Im considering buying a steamdeck due to how stupid the prices are becoming for PCs. I live in Australia and almost no gaming laptop has capable cooling in the summer. Unless you want to spend $7000 AUD for 1080p. Then to go cheaper a descent 1080p desktop is $3000 (basing of games like space marine 2) but then no portability. Lord Gaben and his holy steam empire looks like the way to go. Just watching Australia reviews for cooling and no one has complained yet. Waiting to see what freemont actually is first cause 2025-2026 is predicted new steam deck hardware.

I love you valve

A valve console will definitely be successful. But guarantee that game prices will go up

I literally only have an Epic account because of free games. If it wasn't for that, I wouldn't use their store at all

I just hate unreal 5 cause it runs like shit

Sounds like a gpu dock right?

If they drop this before mhw drops....imma buy it

Then valve gets sued for doing the right thing. Why is humanity such a dustbin?

Hey! 2024 here, I'm pretty sure Valve is gonna be hated now. Check out Coffeezilla lmao

Seems I joined pc and steam at the perfect time

Linux gaming is simply dying off. More and more developers are pulling support, and not a single gaming peripheral manufacturer natively supports the OS either. Even Zowie, which is often recommended, only has firmware updates for Windows.

I got a Fortnite ad clicking on this video, it was bad, my ads forshadow now

Id rather buy a game on steam then claim it for free on epic. And the 30% cut valve takes on steam i dont think is all that bad. You showed $42 for a $60 game on steam and almost $53 for epic game store. I am 99% positive that they will get waaaay more sales on steam. If a game developer releases on epic games they arent getting sales bc the launcher sucks ass. IF there was a competitor then i can see people complaining abt 30%. There are also developers that only sell games off their own websites with their own launchers. Just saying there are options

My thoughts are if Steam can make OS that can run games 10-15% better than on Windows it could actually revolutionize the market. I use my PC for games/netflix/spotify/etc so for last couple of years nothing special about Windows is keeping me on it. But lets see what the future holds :D

please please please let valve win i am here to help

And Valve didn't cure piracy, since piracy is free and even easier than downloading and Signing in to Steam atp.

The answer is the usual: Corporate brainwashing, and Copyright sucks.

Important things about Steam are not just the games, the workshop for example, the community and all the little things around it are also important that Epic doesn't have...

Can't wait to see what Source 3 looks like.

I don't think Gabe even cares about the console market, but that is just a side effect of his dream of a gaming independent platform outside windows.

Valve coming for Microsofts and Sonys ass at the same time, Gabe is such a chad. Most consumer friendly gaming company there is. Free multiplayer and REAL Sales 24/7? Let me buy it

Microsoft and Sony cant deal with Valves openess and consumer friendliness, they mad and pushing courts, suck it. Valve all the way. I love you Gabe

I want to buy a handheld but i also want to stay with keyboard and mouse control.

My gaming rig died on me 6 months ago tried ps5 wasn’t impressed so I bought myself a non oled deck with dock skin 3 cases and 1 tb oem internal memory less then msrp of 64 gb now I main king in tekken 8 😂

Gamers who don't buy from epic are just cry babies.

The Deck is going to last twenty years or more 😅

I hate with epic once u put one account into your browser it makes it impossible to use another account it just auto saves all your info without asking 😂

I want this feature for my pc normal games, as optional i hope valve do the magic

Something companies should notice is the fact that most people doesnt like to have/remember a lot of accounts for things that could be in just one. The same happens to streaming, Netflix was great because you can find all there, now you need at least 3 accounts to have 50% of the same content you had

Steam = gaming SteamOS = bye bye microsoft.. for us gamers at least.

valve hasnt done anything to consoles, consoles and their publishers have been killing themselves, ps games are on steam (the good ones, and if theyre not on steam, theyre being put on it within the next couple years) xbox is owned by microsoft which has a vast majority of gaming OS on computers, so xbox games arent exclusive to that, and nintendo is just doing their own thing by themselves, they're fine. The console wars are over, nintendo won by keeping their games exclusive.

I just bought an OLED Steam Deck. A console would be cool! For me it’s either going to be a PlayStation 6 or a Steam Console?? Not sure yet.

This is an amazing video I can’t put into words how great of a job you did with this video

Been using steam for years and the steam forums and never have seen anything even close to 4chan so idk what this guys smoking

I wonder if steam will keep themselves seperated when and if Xbox achieves there xbox anywhere initiative. If xbox allows thirdparty pc capable "consoles" to be made, will steam cut out all windows pcs.... i dont think so.

They are not trying to kill consoles; instead, they are trying to deliver the console gaming experience on the computer and portables

It feels like Xbox all over again 🤷‍♀️

I can't wait to see the steam console and the next games they are rumored to be developing. A new team fortress would be glorious and left 4 dead 3.

If epic just humbly existed without forcing exclusivity on games and continued to give free games they would be thriving

i use both epic just for the free games

The whole Valve monopoly question makes me laugh. So there was a time when gamedev companies were born. Everyone made their own iconic franchises, earned a lot of money but everyone except Valve succumbed to their greed they started selling their stocks and bonds to investors to get more money instead of working on the money they had already earned, like Valve, They have become dependent on investors, marketers and managers who are interested in short-term benefits rather than reputation and future profits. They have received their short-term profits, and now they are sitting without money and belong to investors who manage them as they want and complain that they now do not have enough money to make a competitively capable platform such as Steam, as well as investors and marketers who manage companies are not ready to take risks and try something new to consistently surpass Steam. They drove themselves into a trap, fucked themselves up to the fullest and now they cry like little infantile children who have eaten all their candies and demand that adults take the candies away from the child who saves and eat gradually. What a clowns. In Russia, we have a saying "A miser pays twice", which means that when you spare money and buy something cheap, it quickly fails or you are deceived and you will have to pay again. Same here, they took advantage of the money they had already earned on iconic games, sold out to investors, and now they need much more money to surpass Steam

This is the same game Microsoft wants to play for now on. Making "play everywhere" its main "mode" for developers and licensing the xbox specs for OEMs to produce different types of hardware that work in the same "xbox ecosystem" in which the software runs seamlessly on all of those different hardware - be it console, pc or handheld -, all of them running windows. It looks like the competition will increasingly be Microsoft vs Valve (Windows vs Steam OS) instead of Sony vs Microsoft. That is actually new and exciting.

If I were Valve, i would use this opportunity to solicit Trump for military purposes/gaming to step up & it would be a win win for our country/military and USA economy 💯🇺🇸

I am excited for when we get the steam deck 2

Starting development using Ryujinx as a basis is not illegal as the licence of the code that existed at the time is open source. Making it proprietary afterwards does NOT automatically chance the licence for past code, ever. If you would like examples, check the varios open source softwares that went proprietary in the last years, such as Redis, Duckstation and most famously Terraform. There is a de facto fork of terraform being currently mantained by a group of companies including many big tech players, using previously open source Terraform code. Project name is OpenTofu, all of you can check on that. I urge all to inform yourselves on how software licenses work before making claims, in order to not accidentally spread misinformation

What’s the hardware spec?
