I’ve gone as far as to “downgrade” my desktop computer to a combination of MacBook Pro + Steam Deck. The MacBook is heaps faster for any workload other than gaming, so now my most powerful computer fits in my backpack. The Steam deck is such a joy to play with, and thanks to the microSD slot I don’t have to worry about disk space requirements anymore. Yes, it’s not as fast in terms of raw performance, but I don’t care. I can play now on my bed, sofa, or garden. If it doesn’t run on the deck, I don’t care for it. I already have way too many games I haven’t finished.
Not so sure about that. AAA games have been notoriously bad about cross-platform support which is offered by almost every single developer indie game at this point. They seem very inflexible.
I’m at the point where if it doesn’t run on my steam deck then I’m not playing it.
I think games coming out now, did not know how big the handheld market would be.
I think we will see future aaa games have graphical options to ensure their games will run on handhelds.

I’d say I’m in a similar situation but my desktop was hardly more powerful than the steam deck 😂
Now my desktop is just a general use computer.
