Interesting, although I wonder if they’re going to fall into the trap that everyone else has. It’s not good enough to just make a handheld. You need to have a great ecosystem surrounding it, and Steam is one of the very best for gaming that actually seems to respect its users.
How do you plan to be better than Steam? This is the question that this product fails to answer. If it doesn’t come up with a truly impressive answer soon, it’s dead on arrival.
My money is on no one remembering this device after six months.
Presumably you mean SteamOS. That could be answered simply with "it plays more games" and "Game Pass".
Never bought into game pass. It's also a subscription and prices are subject to change at any time, and be tiered differently, and all that. It might even just end up streaming everything. I'm not a fan of other of those. I'm out.
That's cool. I didn't either. But 35 million other people did.
You can also cancel it at any time.
