Yeah, whenever I turn on the game, all I think is: This belongs on the Steam deck.

@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.
@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.

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.

@caekislove @snugglefist @morgthorak
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.
