Competition is good, and I belive helps innovation. I hope that we get closer to the ideal experience and don’t get locked down into one choice. I would give someone other than Valve a look if they also committed to Linux as a platform (which really isn’t that weird, historically). One of my complaints about the Deck is the D-Pad is kind of bad for fighting games. The left direction is obviously cut off some to make space, and strict left inputs tend to be down left instead. It’s a bit of a nit pick, but I would like to see improvement there.
