I know many people keep pointing at PS5 as the competition, but I'll throw this in:
I can buy a game on PC and play it on the go, I don't have to buy anything else.
The Steam Deck+a PC places Steam in a different league than the PS5 (for now).
Nintendo Switch 2 is way closer, however the games are different (I don't love Nintendo games).
Finally for those of us with a big Steam library and kids, buying a Steam machine or a Steam Deck means I will spend ZERO on games (I can confirm)
Until the next Steam sale. Steam Summer Sale is coming up!
Lol! I know right?
Jokes aside, I figured out techniques to avoid buying all together, which is great. I already spent plenty.
> The Steam Deck+a PC places Steam in a different league than the PS5 (for now).
It places it in same league as PS Portal and PS5
No the PlayStation portal streams, there is an enormous difference there.
I can already stream any steam game on any android and iphone out there
