    No I agree with you on the Steam license thing. That’s why I used quotations in my previous comment.

    But Game Pass isn’t any better. It’s worse than licensing games because, again, Microsoft can choose to remove games from Pass at will.

    The Steam Deck can do what you describe as well. Some prefer SteamOS for it’s sleekness, where Windows can become bloated over time. Then you also don’t need to factor in how Windows machines need to have the price of Windows built into their purchase price. The SD runs off of SteamOS, which is a free OS provided by Valve. And yes, dual booting to run SteamOS and Windows is possible, allowing users the same game and market compatibility as the ROG Ally.

    SteamOS is the key factor for a lot of people here. Linus just did a video on it. Consider giving that a watch!
