And what's wrong with it? Not all game are competitive multiplayer. Not all have perfectly functional dexterous hand.

if you have some kind of motion disability, then sure, use these tools, otherwise git gud.
i mean, im REALLY BAD at fighting games, but i try to improve, and despite the fact that i cant get good at all games that i play, i dont cheat in any of then, i rather live knowing that im bad at something, than lie to myselft pretending to be good, when the truth is that i cheated.

Quoting: ElectricPrismI am curious if they will go with a 3 year cycle or 4 year cycle and we will see something ~Feb 2025 or ~Feb 2026.
i hope not, they havent even launched in Brasil, or in many countries now that we are speaking of that.

i hope they can endure 5 years, despite the competition launching things more powerfull, if they can keep the device relevant for 5 years runing the big lauch titles, then steam deck 2 will sell like hot cakes.

they still have many strategies they can try, ranging from things like FSR that they already did, to hall stick sensors...

Quoting: ElectricPrismI wonder if they will use numerical versioning or follow Xbox -- will we see Steam Deck 2 and then after that Steam Deck 2 Episode 1 :P
no, the next steam deck will be steam deck 3, making people confuse about the fate of the missing steamdeck 2 and curious about the fact that valve finally learned to count to 3... except they didnt because they skiped the 2.
