    Hi All

    was wondering how many people have a steam deck on here. Had mine for about 6 months now and love it, Upgraded it to a 2TB SSD as the 256GB one was just too small. Also use a 512GB Micro SD card in it for Windows 10 to run all my emulator needs. Tried using the windows steam client to run some stuff that wasn't steam OS compatible, but that didn't work out well XD

    Regards

    I love reading posts because I have a lot to learn. I Googled it to see what it was. I am
    not a gamer so that is why I didn't know about it.

    I'd be interested to see other comments on this so I can learn more.

    I like the Steam Deck as a concept but I happen to hold a dislike for Steam as a service, so no Steam Deck here.

    I am not aware of any serious handheld device capable of playing modern games as the Steam Deck can, with the exception of the Nintendo Switch, which is yet another closed ecosystem.

    i have never been a fan of Steam. I have check it out and I like the games that they
    have on there but it just doesn't interest me for some reason. Maybe someday in the
    future my mind will be changed and I will try it out but for right now its not for me.

    The only problem with the Steam Deck is the prices of the games. They're always expensive on steam, but fortunately you can find them cheaper on the Web. All you have to do is put the key in. On rare occasions that are cheaper on steam
