Storage seems like it'll be an issue unless you only want to play indie games. It says it's got the hardware to play AAA games, but even last gen AAA games like Doom Eternal won't fit on the base model, and the next step up with more sufficient storage is more expensive than the next gen consoles.
I wonder what this will mean for Linux support on the Steam store in general? Since this is SteamOS[0], then manufacturers will have to support Linux / Proton in order to have their games on this machine. [0] https://www.steamdeck.com/en/software
> For Deck, we're vastly improving Proton's game compatibility and support for anti-cheat solutions by working directly with the vendors.
Now valve, for the love of god, PUSH NATIVE LINUX GAMING, proton only as a way to supplement the library..
Reduce your steam tax for the companies that provide a native linux build
I will not buy this if your main selling point is "proton"
As for the price, 419€.. very bad marketing, 399€ would have been perfect... you got greedy for 20€, that'll hurt sales
I would like for once for you to keep working on a singular product, release multiple iterations, make it better and make it the market leader.
Interesting that Valve is diving deeper into hardware. Remember when they still made video games? Remember when there was still a hope they would some day release Half-Life 3?
Valve has a pretty bad track record with hardware, do they not? I'm not very aware of this industry, but the vague impress I have is that they've tried this a couple of different ways and it hasn't gone well for them. I'm curious why they would make this play again.

microSD cards are pretty cheap though.
Typo in the title. It’s “Steam Deck”, not “Steam Desk”. Interesting that Valve is diving deeper into hardware. Remember when they still made video games? Remember when there was still a hope they would some day release Half-Life 3?
