Steam Deck was an unexpected game changer. I bought one thinking I might like to play a few games here and there while traveling. It’s my main gaming system now.
I got into it because I was using my switch a lot. I realized that I was not having at times so I could be with my wife watching TV or something. Now I can just game in the steam deck.
Same. If the system requirements are something besides a garden variety opengl card, that means it’s going to generate a lot of heat, be really loud and the graphics will be so good I’ll get worse frames. I take that into consideration before purchasing.
After the current gpu generation becomes too outdated to run the latest games, it’s going to be retro or open source games only for me. You can’t even run the most basic unity games on integrated graphics anymore.
I’m at the point where I don’t care about graphics all that much. Just as long as it doesn’t look like a muddy mess.
If it will not run decently on a steam deck, then I’m skipping it.
