Valve really going against the grain and implementing actually great features instead of AI or some subscription shit.

I will say that I'm a little surprised it took this long, I was surprised when this "feature" didn't come out at launch lol
Is this really what's considered a "great feature?"
Why do I need everyone to know I'm playing on my Steam Deck? I mean it's not bad, but it seems more like a footnote than a feature.
So my friends won't invite me to play when I'm on the go. No idea if it works on desktop mode though.
This is the result of valve being a private company. If it was a public company it would of been bought my Microsoft and introducing 50 new AI features
Now we just need a "Sent from my Steam Deck" footer for all our chat messages.
Praying they release a steam deck mini
I would love a tiny, light Deck that can run indies and remote-play bigger games.
Glad I'm not the only one wishing for that
Wonder if they'll add support for other handhelds
