    I mean…of course they have a roadmap. They had a roadmap well before the first unit. Their work and investment in Proton wasn’t just for desktop Linux users.

      To be fair selling (hardware) worldwide is much more than just enabling shipping to every country. Even some very established companies can’t do it. Sure you’ll have some crappy companies offering to just ship you the product and then everything else is on you but that’s not the right way to do it.

    Good. I was really worried about the steam deck. On paper it seemed too good to be true, and Valves track record with hardware is abysmal.
    I ended up getting one and its honestly one of my best gaming purchases. Pretty tempted to grab an OLED

      They still sell the index, they pivoted the link into being sofwltware you can install on anything, and the controller got killed by patents trolls. Steam machines weren’t made by valve so I can’t pin that one on them entirely.

  • Not a humble brag but I got about 4000 Steam games. Most from bundles, and I also have a 10+ yo account.

    About 1000 of them are Steam Deck ready. And there’s a bunch of old school games that just do better on a portable device, like those JRPG games.

    So I hope they continue their speed of fixes to make that number shrink!

      Interesting. I’ve got an 18 year old account with somewhere north of 1000 games. There’s a bit of selection bias, since I’ve been on Linux for the past 5 years, but my verified or playable percentage is closer to 2/3. When you say Steam Deck ready, are you only referring to verified? Because if you’ve got a very old game with small text or poor controller support, it’s unlikely you’ll ever see it switch to verified, but it may still be a good experience on the Deck.
