SteamDeck, emulate everything.*
- Proton technically isn’t emulation, but it’s pretty crazy that the device basically doesn’t have anything natively built for it, everything is translated emulated. It took that much effort to break Microsoft’s PC gaming monopoly.
The Deck is what have me the confidence to move to Linux on desktop. I wouldn’t have switched if not for Valve.
If this means I can play my Steam games on my phone… Yay! 🎉
More like the other way round.
You can stream steam games to your phone with steam link thought.
Wait, but Steam doesn’t have Android games, right?
Yet
Honestly Steam is WAY overdue for an Android store.
Although it seems like putting the cart before the horse if they’re developing Android support for Steam Deck before launching a game store.
I would like if someone managed Valve right and made HL3.
Valve makes infinitely more money off of store fees selling other people’s games. Why would they want to make a fraction developing a single game when they can go after Android’s 30% cut?
…why not both?
