That moment at the 2 minute mark is key, and something that was done more often: If you're a large, highly profitable company, you can afford to take risks. I am glad the move was to create a product that, though obviously having a profit motive, was still clearly made with the consumers in mind

[@protocetid]

@@grimaper It would likely sport the typical Linux smartphone advantages like repairability, the ability to run any software you want (in both app and OS form), a replaceable battery and updates forever. Baffles me gamers aren’t clamoring for a Steam Phone, although there a couple explanations that appear valid at face value. Number 1, the kind of processors AMD and Intel make (called x86) run much hotter and are hungrier for energy than the processors in regular mobile devices (ARM). Thus a mobile x86 chip would be weaker than an ARM one in the same price bracket, making a chip weaker is the easiest way to lower it’s energy consumption and temperature. This doesn’t really matter because most smartphones don’t really have anything that use all of their performance, ARM has gotten so powerful it’s overkill for general phone use. Trading some performance for the ability to use PC software (which would be adapted for a mobile interface) would be so worth it. And it would function like a desktop when you need it to.

PS + steam deck is probably the best gaming combo ever for the price

[@CLOYO]

@@papervws wdym PS, what games does it even have. Like, real tailored games especially for the PS that are worth it these days.

[@Julian123356]

Thank you for the Steam Deck! You literally changed the gaming world with this console forever. True Greatness ❤‍🔥❤‍🔥❤‍🔥

Such a great handheld. I grew up on the Nintendo DS line, and being able to play my AAA games on the go, has been awesome. Such a great purchase.

[@OneAndOnlyZekePolaris]

Just say Nintendo Line. And Nintendo can do the same shit as a computer can. Steam Desk is actually so old news that they had to use other people's coding just to make it. It is called Business. They weaken their products to get more money.

[@OneAndOnlyZekePolaris]

@@Crwzn It is serious if Linux is more easy to hack... Use common sense dude...

[@OneAndOnlyZekePolaris]

@@Crwzn And your account at risk of getting hacked isn't serious when it can lead to your money being stolen? Again common sense dude...

[@OneAndOnlyZekePolaris]

YES! my picture is in there. I love the deck I use it all the time. Valve did an amazing job with this product

[@borsho9889]

Man, I love how professional are jay and kaci. Love valve, never change!!

Stay scammers.

congrats, Valve and Steam Deck ! can't wait for more country to expand !

[@farima4_legacy]

Never got the steam deck and I dont think Im going to get it in the future either but still I am very happy about it. Many people have said it already but the proton compatibility project is amazing and it makes gaming (and even running other app) on linux so much better. Thank you for everything you did to make the linux experience better

[@TheNotavalable]

The steam deck brought gaming back into my life. I absolutely love it.

This is fun and shows the genuine passion from the Deck team. Love it!

Oh man that little birthday celebration hat on the steam deck 😂 way too wholesome.

Saw they have a 10% off sale on the Steam Deck, might actually place an Order for one! Happy B-Day Steam Deck 💜

[@aaronpatrick7954]

I’m a bit bummed. I ordered mine last Friday. I wish I would have waited a week 10% off of $500+ is a decent saving. But I am happy for those that get the deal this week and I’ve heard nothing but great things about the device itself.

[@fruitsalad1181]

@@aaronpatrick7954 aw thats a shame I wonder if you can contact costumer support or get a refund

[@JimmerzzOfficial]

@@aaronpatrick7954 I would never buy something on steam so close to a steam sale personally. You can always google when the next steam sale is

[@InsaneCallum]

@@aaronpatrick7954 You can likely contact support and they will refund partly or give credit. Steam is generally pretty generous with this.

[@YaoiKillerProduction]

As someone who just got their Steam Deck last December, it's easily one of the best purchases that I've ever made. My desktop PC is merely used for work and my TV consoles are just collecting dust now. I just love playing all my backlogs on the bed, couch, traveling, and in the toilet. Imagine playing FFXIV on a handheld that runs the same as mid-range laptop. Truly a remarkable time for gaming!

[@AidanTheBandit]

2:48 my photo made it in!!! I’m so happy! I made it into the Steam Deck’s bday video!

Looks like an awesome device, any plans for an Australian release?

[@seandoesthings7416]

wanna buy mine

[@therealmrarchive]

@@seandoesthings7416 Sure where and how much?

[@hanice88]

I just bought a grey import paying $100 extra a few days ago. It's been a year and there's no sign for the local release.

[@Mr.Chimpazee]

Give me steam deck Give me steam deck

[@VillageBenchGames]

The Steam Deck is a dream come true! 🤩 Let's hope that the verified program will reach faster also smaller games (like our Killer Chambers), there are a lot of indie gamedevs that are making updated to make their titles fully compatible with the Steam Deck!

[@speedyboyo748]

Thank you for working so hard on the Deck! It's by far one of my favourite gaming devices! I do want to know, could there be an update for the Deck to give it that :) face as an idle screen or something like that? It's cute as heck!

[@salamsever5064]

How about no update for tf2

[@Isaacfess]

Thanks for making this awesome device Valve! I truly love how sleek it is and how easy it is to use!

[@oo--7714]

Eh its not really sleek. The os is fine but pc mode needs a loooot of work. Buggy even after a year.

[@nikitonsens666]

I love you Valve ❤ Got mine few weeks ago and I’m so happy with it . Please don’t stop Valve . You are the best

[@AyyyGabagool]

This felt like a Devolver presentation, but way less unhinged and without any purposefully cringey banter. Really appreciate the increase in transparency on social media and the youtube channel specifically

[@gregormonkey]

I agree wholeheartedly, and would just like to add that I love the unhinged and purposefully cringey banter in Devolver's showcases :) I can only hope both are genuine examples of some form of sincerity from these two companies that make/publish so many ridiculously good games

[@FabledFew]

I just bought one this month, and I am blown away by how good it is. Truly the best handheld gaming device yet.

[@eduardomaldonado5793]

just got my steam deck and got to say i love it so much cant wait to take it everywhere with me

[@holleyakers6684]

I’m glad that gave is still up and running hopefully the company picks up on some stuff like TF2 Half-Life etc
