Damn I really struck a nerve. My bad dude

Love my steamdeck but it’s definitely not similar to a switch other than they both play video games handheld. Even the docked experiences are super different.

Honestly at this point Microsoft has a much bigger problem with people abandoning PC/laptops for smart phones and tablets, a space that they do not occupy at all. Steam/Valve is not the major problem

My dude you can’t admit you didn’t read the article then defend the fact that you didn’t read it like that. Just read it and then comment lol

SteamOS does not scare the shit out of them at all. Microsoft’s money is in dominating the business world. They like being in the video game world but it’s only a portion of their portfolio whereas Valve is all in. Plus SteamOS didn’t hurt them last time, why would they believe it will this time? Maybe it will, but unfortunately smart money is not betting against microsoft on this. Valve will continue to nibble at the edges and expand linux gaming, which is awesome, but look what it’s taken to get to just under 5% of the gaming market (that’s ALL of linux btw, not SteamOS).

Until Valve offers commercial offerings (never) I think M$ isn’t losing sleep. They aren’t even on the same plane in terms of scale and resources. They’re competing for handheld pc gaming, but it’s not high stakes for microsoft at all.

What a cringe title. I love bazzite - I run my PC I just built exclusively on it! - but microsoft doesn’t give 2 shits about it. I highly doubt they give Bazzite any thought.
