Do you play more than before you got your deck?

Do you play the same kinds of games, or do you play different types of games now?

Do you still play at the same times or places, or have those changed?

Are there any other significant changes to your playing habits?

    It’s made my Steam collection viable again. I had to box up the PC when we had our second kid, and with it went 400+ games. The Deck has totally gotten me back into that ecosystem again, which is surely what Valve want.

    On a personal level it’s totally killed my Switch off (Nintendo exclusives aside). I also find myself playing most of my games on the 'Deck right now, because having the flexibility is apparently something I really enjoy.

      I think it’s amazing that Valve hasn’t done anything to royally fuck over Steam users – surely they have enough money by now that they could afford several unity-tier PR fuckups. But instead they seem to be trying to fuck over Microsoft.

      The hardware is a neat gimmick. But it’s easy to imitate, anyone can take a tablet and put joysticks on it now. The real magic is Proton, the magnificent hack that makes “windows games” playable without Windows.
