It is not “biggest game library on earth” I bet, that would still be a high-end desktop running windows…

Yes, but it has still a bigger game library as steam deck has and thus calling steam deck having “bigges game library on earth” is just bullshit.

But maybe there is a joke in that, that woooshed over me…

Yeah but a Deck is a Pc, which can absolutely run Windows. Therefore, they are the same thing. A high end PC AND a steam deck feature the “Biggest game library on earth”.

Doesn’t even have to run well. The fact that you can attempt to play it in the first place let’s it win the medal.

Any version of Playstation can’t even attempt to play half the games on a deck ;).

You could put Windows on the deck if you’re inclined to do so

At this point, it’ll be easier to count the games that wouldnt work on the steam deck.

While this is technically correct, it still doesn’t matter. I have built my own high end PCs in the past and it is a huge waste. I’m not even sold on the steam deck yet - I do all my non- critical stuff like lemmy on this 10 year old shit tablet running Android 7

Never told that it matters 😇 I game on an nvida 980 endeavourOS PC myself. Steam deck is probably able to run more games than that 😂
