And this was 4 years ago when its new. Which relied heavily on low resolution and resolution scaling to even make due. Now its even worse, especially with no significant price drop, and double especially with the ridiculous price increase they put on it. Steam deck is an interesting device, and I’ll give valve credit for it. But its past its time, especially with the lack of price reductions.
