I love my Steam Deck, as any regular reader will know. It's my favourite gaming device but it could always be better right? And with competition hot (hi Nintendo), I hope Valve have more plans.
They are scared because the steam deck can do everything the switch does, but better (performance wise). Which is fair, since the switch has been on the market for some time, but even back when it was released it has been underspecced.
Underspecced, but having Mario&Co. I wonder if they’d happen to go the Sega’s way, intentionally or not, becoming games and not hardware producer, letting their main franchizes flourish or fall on other’s platforms.

Honestly it’s gotta be something they’re considering after looking at sony branching out to PC and making some cash
I reckon it won’t be as abrupt as Sega, we’ll probably see them do a slow pivot,
