The mobile market is growing at an insane pace while the desktop gaming is in the down side (including console)
Valve have 0 presence on the mobile market, Steam Deck is an attempt, but it still is desktop titles
They made a mistake imo by going with X86 CPUs, they should have went with ARM and a translation layer for X86 (hw accelerated)
This way they could support Android ecosystem natively, release their store on Android, and start to publish/sell android games as well as universal mobile/desktop titles
That's why i mention Epic, i suspect that'll be their plan, they'll become a store on Android (probably also iOS) and publish premium mobile games
> The fact that Nintendo lawyers are working overtime taking down youtube SteamDeck videos that barely even mention emulation feels like an admission that they know the steamdeck is a threat
Nintendo has strong IPs, they will sell no matter what, wich gives them a strong advantage at selling a lot of devices consistently, every generations
