I really hope Valve doesn’t start making small incremental changes to the Steam Deck like devices in the emulation handheld scene (Powkiddy, Anbernic, etc.) do.
I’d feel a lot less incentivised to buy one if I felt like my device was going to immediately age out. I imagine less developers would make system settings specifically for the Steam Deck like Cyberpunk 2077 did or design third party peripherals.
The hardware inside the switch is 12 years old. It was old before it was born. Doesn’t make it bad, but by comparison the hardware inside the Steamdeck is actually only 2 years old.
The switch is 7 years old, the deck is barely 2 years old. There no need for a deck 2.

They have said that the steam deck 2 won’t come out anytime soon and are waiting for the tech to make it worthwhile.
