  • The article you’ve linked seems to say the opposite of what you’re suggesting — that a second iteration of the Steam Deck is coming soon. That’s not the impression I get from the linked article at all.

    But even that aside, I would argue that the Steam Deck has been uniquely successful. Sure, the Deck may or may not end up being a “one and done”, flash in the pan piece of hardware that fades into relative obscurity in the face of competing hardware… but it proved that the idea of portable PC gaming was possible and affordable, and inspired plenty of manufacturers to dip their toe in the same arena. And almost every single one of those devices, whether it’s sold by Valve or Lenovo or whoever, will be running — and selling games on — the Steam marketplace.

    That was the goal of the Deck, and in that regard it’s been a great success.

    1. Every man should own at least one decent suit, and should try it on regularly (twice a year at minimum) to make sure it still fits — but that suit should not be black, because:
    2. Black suits are exclusively for funerals, and even there they’re mostly horrible. A charcoal suit will serve literally anywhere a black suit would plus lots of places it wouldn’t.
