I really hope the next step will be a “Steam Deck Compatible” verification for third party creations that’s running SteamOS, so that some of the growth can happen independently of the Steam Deck itself, yet not fragment the ecosystem too much in terms of hardware capabilities
I think it would eg be okay to mandate the use of the specific AMD CPU/GPU setup and memory and leave other creators to innovate in other areas than that.
good. I think the specs need to stay stable for years for developers to target the Deck specifically. If there's always a new Deck around the corner developers will not target the current Deck and they will simply hope the game runs well enough in the upcoming one.
good, all the power creep associated with PC gaming has led to horribly unoptimized games devs need to target average hardware, not the big $1000 box with 69 terashits per megafart
Sounds good to me. We don’t need an incremental Steam Deck 2. Now that Valve finally has a hardware hit on their hands they need the next few steps to not stumble. Wow potential customers with a generational leap in performance.

Eg: A Steam Box that you plug into the TV

Or NVIDIA BFGD: nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/produ…
Both ultimately being a verification that the hardware meets certain expectations
