It's a shame Nintendo doesn't care about their customers. I can't buy games for wii, wiiU or 3DS, but I can still get games I bought in 2005 on steam.

Your point about "it's not a pc" is strange, what constitutes a pc to you?

Gabe Newell did a whole speech on why Valve is supporting linux and free software. That's why SteamDeck isn't locked down. You can install windows, or play games on Linux from gog.com, or Epic Games, itch.io etc etc.

Steam deck is lock down, so many problems would be solved if they opened source it. Proton is a software and not the reason Steam Deck is able to run games. You can install Wine and the same result will happen. No you couldn’t install any Linux, many tried.

Trusting billionaires yes what a great answer. Why not trust Amazon, Facebook and X CEOs aswell. If you think Gable is innocent then you are ignoring the many lawsuits Valve corporations committed.

Oh I get it now, you're a troll. Never mind. Continue doing your thing.

Pretty dedicated one if so. There are comments on the account going back months talking about how valve and steam deck suck. Either got burned on a deck purchase somehow or a huge switch fanboy I figure.

Just a dedicated troll that gets giggles from saying insane things and seeing the response.

Steam deck closed Source = yes
Proof it’s not? Tell me, i know you won’t find it because it’s not open source.

Proton the reason for the ability to play windows games = yes
You can’t play windows games on Linux, unless you’re telling me otherwise.

Steam Deck has problems with smaller Linux operating environments = yes
Big Linux operating environments will always have users who support steam deck unlike smaller communities. Also, Linux that do everything to protect your privacy will never allow steam deck to function because YOU AGREE IN STEAM USER AGREEMENT. To allow the program to track you.

Valve Corporation lawsuit = yes

Anyone here who is wrong, it’s you.

Not sure what I'm wrong about. I haven't made a single claim about any hard or software in this thread. You're sounding a bit unhinged.
