When there is a 2. Just know it will be the last Deck ever. We all know Valve can’t count to 3.
They will just use labels instead of numbers.
Steam deck Alyx.
Would be hilarious if that was the release name of Deckard.
Ngl that is a nice name.
something something “Steam Deck 2: Episode 2”
“Is this what you’ve been waiting for? Say one, two…and four”
Yeah, but on the other hand, you also know it will be a massive evolution that will last several generations nevertheless.
Dota players: dunno what you are saying about. We literally have patch 7.34d now
The release date just got one week later.
But we can get 2.1, 2.2, 2.2.1, 2.2.2
Just please let us update/download with the screen turned off or in hibernate. That’s a big annoyance for me.
I could see turning off the screen, but I don’t see how you could download with a system hibernated.
Next we will have people complain about how putting the device to sleep still drains the battery.
You can set the brightness to 0… it’s just Linux
Still feels a bit dumb doesn’t it?
I mean, even the 3DS and the Vita were capable of performing this with the screen totally off (the 3DS lid closed).
And we are all used to doing this as a background task after all, I can even imagine myself having to have the screen on all the times to download the endless updates of my PS4 🫥
Yeah it is pretty dumb tbf. It should not only turn the screen off but pull the power back a bit for efficiency
Yes like wtf
Hold up, they’re releasing an OLED version???
Yup, and it even has better battery life and is a bit lighter!
That title made me think valve was going philosophical
Isn’t that the excuse they used for half life 3 as well?
Maybe that stands true yet.
Heck, I feel like I’m missing out because I never played Half Life games.
More like it’s too expensive or can’t be manufactured at scale, but sure I guess it’s kind of the same thing.
No shit? You want to pay 800€ for a videogame console?
At current currency conversion rates, that’d be $854.
I’m sure the Neo Geo was up there, at least in inflation-adjusted terms.

Yeah, and apparently the 3DO actually slightly edged it out. $1,238.52 for the Neo Geo in 2020 dollars, and $1,246.96 for the 3DO.
It looks like the Intellivision made it there, too, at $916.46.
Now, granted, none of those dominated the market (though I remember a lot of kids who wished that they had a Neo Geo).
You’re not wrong, the Steam Deck was sold at a loss and there was that CPU shortage going on. I’m not sure if it’s still an issue.
