Steam Deck 2 delay was right choice for Valve as mid-generation refresh would fare better

Valve won't be releasing a Steam Deck with more performance until at least 2025. Given the smartphone market's reputation for disappointing incremental updates, this is the right choice. Valve should, however, throw gamers a bone with a Steam Deck 1.5.

Except Valve said they don’t want a mid-gen refresh. They want game developers to have a fixed target for performance optimalisation.

A mid gen refresh wouldn’t change the performance target, just offer a better screen or something like that.

Doesn’t something have to be planned initially in order for it to become delayed?

Steam Input & double touchpad is also an insane feature. Right now my main game is Dofus : a turn based tactical MMORP. This game is probably one of the most keyboard+mouse I could have thought of, however it has A LOT of keyboard shortcut. I maybe spent one hour fine tuning my layout and now it feels almost better playing it in console mode.

Turning a PC game into a console game like this almost feels like magic, I really love this big boy and really hope it will have successors in the distant future.

And also this game is not even on steam, the global openness of Valve letting me do whatever the f**k I want with my device is very welcome.

This article is idiotic. “There are a number of steam deck killers already on the market”

Okay then why haven’t they killed the steam deck?

Um… seems you overlooked that the line links on an earlier article by them: Supposed Steam Deck killers are missing the point

They use that term in reference to that earlier article.

The sentence in the article, even if linking to an older article, should still make sense as a sentence on its own. Without the word “supposed” as the older article has, it just doesn’t.
