With the increasing popularity of these different form factors and device types, it seems like people are finally starting to realize just how horrible Windows is… especially for gaming.
I just wish Valve spent a bit more time squashing bugs. I'm on my third deck after the first one had a dead screen and the second one bricked itself through a mandatory update. The third one is better, but even tonight on stock software, the deck refused to play nice with two Xbox One controllers and a Switch Pro controller during 4 player games of Towerfall. Great game, just wish we didn't spend so much time with controllers disconnecting, menus freezing onto the screen, and pairing issues. It's so close in some regards to contemporary platforms. But it's so frustrating whenever I need it to work in party settings, and it falls flat on its face where my windows laptop just...doesn't. :/
