Yeah, whenever I turn on the game, all I think is: This belongs on the Steam deck.
Yuzu and Ryujinx
@snugglefist @LukeAlmighty Should be more viable on Steam Deck 2
@caekislove @snugglefist @LukeAlmighty When is 2 coming out? I wanted to buy one, but I hate buying first generation.
I have an OLED Switch and I love it, but of course the hardware is old. Deck 2 needs an OLED screen. I can't go back to LCD now.

@morgthorak @snugglefist @LukeAlmighty There's no way Valve will even whisper about Steam Deck 2 until they have a million manufactured and ready to ship because it would tank sales of the original. That said, my wild guess is 2025, at the earliest.
@caekislove @snugglefist @LukeAlmighty I see, gotcha. Well I'll hold off until then. I want a Deck with an OLED screen. The difference visually was significant on the Switch. LCD looks drab by comparison.
@morgthorak @snugglefist @LukeAlmighty I wonder if there some sort of OLED mod kit for sale on Alibaba yet 🤔
@caekislove @snugglefist @LukeAlmighty I'm surprised Valve hasn't released one, they could mark it up a bit. Maybe make more money on it as a premium version or whatever.
@morgthorak @snugglefist @caekislove
No need to do so.
Their goal was to send a warning shot to Microsoft, and to test a new market.
They didn't go all in on creating a new console line.
@LukeAlmighty @morgthorak @snugglefist I haven't really looked into it but I recall hearing about some Chinese manufacturers making Steam Deck like consoles, but "gold plated" (OLED screen, faster processor, etc). Of course, all that stuff costs more.

Yes, there are clones out there already. ROG Ally is the most well known one.
Yet another reason for valve to not just jump in with a cheap 2nd gen. They have to keep some dignity to a product, that now has a reputation for being so special.
