based. i have an odin 2. wish i held out for the thor but they have the same chip so it seems useless to buy a thor now. ill wait for the thor 3 i guess.

hasn't it been possible to play steam for months if not longer

through 3rd party apps
this will be steam

Wouldn't that just make the competition for steamdeck much higher?

So they'll let you put SteamOS on non-Valve hardware? That would be goated actually.

Good for regular games but emulators like pcsx2 and yuzu clones suck ass on ARM

they earn more from selling games

>>737117487
I don't think Valve really cares. They are still skimming 30% off the top of every game sale.

>>737117487
didnt they say when they released the steam deck they wanted other manufacturers to make steam handhelds? this is pretty much that

>>737117487
At the end of the day more people will be getting Steam games.

This will inevitably lead to official Steam client capable of running games on Android devices.

you're better off putting lineageos on it. it can unlock 165hz on the odins.

>>737117487
They want Steam on everything. It's even on Xbox handheld.

gamenative already exists and I'm already using it to play steam games on my ayn thor

>>737118771
Yeah, this is obviously to go after mobile phones.

>>737114489
Honestly, I hope this adds enough competition to the chinkheld market that they actually try to improve their quality. Kinda like with 8bitdo when more and more competition cropped up.

>>737117487
They dont even sell the deck anymore and deck 2 is dead until 2028/9 at minimum.

>>737114489
thank you China.

>>737117487
anon they haven't stocked steam decks in over a year at this point. It's dead hardware

Still waiting on my batch 4 to arrive

Valve doesn't give a fuck about that, they don't make their money from selling Steam Decks. They make it from selling games.

Google play already does this and mogs steam in sales
