Reply to comment by InvalidEntrance in Steam Deck Is Reaching Its Limits in Games Like Plague Tale: Requiem by ardi62

Stream deck is best if you have a system that can stream your games to the deck.

Buying a steam deck to do game streaming makes about as much sense as buying a modern 4k TV to watch VHS tapes.

That analogy is dumber than you are then. The steam deck is literally designed for streaming high quality graphics. It does that better than running games natively actually. So your analogy sound like “buying a fast car to go fast makes about as much sense as pickling bread”

There are much cheaper and smaller devices that can do that. The deck is meant to play games natively, otherwise why have the ability to run windows games on Linux? Wouldn’t they just use android and save themselves a lot of hassle?

The deck can play games natively, but if you watch the performance of when it’s streaming vs natively you will see the stress difference on the deck. Your deck is only obsolete graphics wise if you don’t have a gaming rig that can take the heavy lifting out of the graphics in the game your playing, otherwise your looking at playing aaa titles while the cpu is maxed plugged in or something differently to combat throttles in the settings menu. Where as if you streamed it you could probably keep it up without having to sit next to a wall outlet for a good 4 hours.

I have no idea what android or windows has too do with the deck being meant for native gameplay, what ever point you were trying to make either didnt articulate well, or there is a typo in there. Afaik the deck can’t run windows games, or at least games with anti cheat software like destiny 2, require windows. Same with I think the blizzard games? I actually have to check if there’s a Linux launcher for Blizz now….
