Well I mean everything will run on it, just depends on if it will run well enough. Any game with good performance/lots of options to tweak performance will run fine though.

I think the draw for me is going through my 400 game backlog of old titles that I can play at work. It’s free games for me.

the crazy thing will be running the ryujen (sic) switch emulator on it, which has options to upscale to 4K, do AA on games, run stuff at 60 fps, and put in mods. Metroid Dread and Breath of the Wild will likely run better on the steam deck than on an actual switch. Plus you can run all the N64/genesis/snes/etc emulators which are WAY higher quality than the shitty paid nintendo online ones.

I just really hope Valve doesn't do like every tech company, themselves included, has been doing lately and abandon this idea in a few months / a couple years.

I could see this concept paying dividends for a LONG time if they actually have the patience to pull it off.

Like video cards way back when, whether you got Q1 2022 or later was the difference of seconds.

it was double fucked because if you pressed the button too many times Steam locked you out for like 3 hours

Ouch. I travel every week in a hotel and so the system seems amazing for my use case, however, the Switch also seems amazing for my use case and I don't even bring it along anymore.
