    @Steam @LukeStephensTV Did you fix the joycon drift problem? #SteamDeck

    Someone tried to scam me by posing as @Steam support, just a reminder everyone, companies will NEVER ask you for your login details. Everything is usually done in emails and if you are unsure if it is legitimate, send the company an email asking if it is real. #CyberSecurity

    @Steam controller layout is a solved problem and i'm not sure why you've decided to unsolve it

    @Twitch @Steam Stop trying to be quirky and relatable it’s not working you’re a multi billion dollar corporation

    @ArmoredChocobo @Steam Nintendo only patented the specific design for the Switch, as well as Joycons themselves iirc Since the controllers don't disconnect I doubt there's any legal issue, this design is way older than the switch

    @Steam Like damn, you guys are getting close to the bad console practices nintendo been doing lately, you guys got the drift issue in the index controllers mirroring that of the joycons, what's to stop the drift being that bad on this system? Why should we trust you?

  • TheShadowHatter
    TheShadowHatter🎩 (@TheShadowHatter) reported

    @quinnedecim @Sovngrd @Steam Yeah my issue is mainly SteamOS but the layout looks similar to my GPD WIN MAX, and if it's like that then it's surprisingly comfortable to play I never had issues with it personally.

    @radicldreamer @downrightdpad @Steam I know but ram becomes a problem when theres jack diddily ******* **** of it (4gb on switch)

  • that_leaflet
    Leaflet (@that_leaflet) reported

    @BobHughes13 @JacobSBrowning @Steam It doesn't have the entire Steam library. It runs on Linux so it relies on Proton to run Windows-only games. That alone means you won't be playing any games with anticheat (most multiplayer games). And then there are games that just won't run or will have stability issues.

    @Steam Only concern would be - is it serviceable or upgradeable? If someone destroys a thumb stick or the battery doesn't hold a charge anymore; can they replace it, send for service, or is it e-waste? 🍻

  • MachineGunPand1
    Machine Gun Panda (@MachineGunPand1) reported

    @Steam I have been trying to get my PW reset for weeks. I even linked my phone to the account in case this happened. Guess what, it didn't do **** for me. When do living people return so I can fix this?

  • igameforpain
    EM & C (igameforpain) (@igameforpain) reported

    @Steam This looks so amazing but I think would be too difficult for arthritic hands? I have trouble w/ console controllers & this seems like the button distance is stretched further?

    @ArmoredChocobo @Tarushdei @Steam the problem with the soulja boy console was the unlicensed game roms lmao

    @Steam It's really cool but it's either gonna get mega hot or lag like hell with visually demanding games.

  • amonteres
    Aguvella Monterẽs (@amonteres) reported

    @Steam Is this a streaming service? Or can you download games directly onto the device?

    @Steam Your website for this SUCKS. As in, it's literally broken for me. (Chrome on Windows 10, I shouldn't be having any problems.)

  • SEKSRD
    Susan Marie Richfield (@SEKSRD) reported

    @Steam Look Valve yall have only 1 way to sell this to me, i love it overall but there is a big issue I need to know isn't going to be a thing before I purchase. Can I play my games while offline with this. Because I do a lot of work away from the internet and need that feature.

    Olivia Wertheimer (Open to opportunities!) (@kingdomfantasy6) reported

    @GailSimone @Steam I'm in the latter group, but by the time I have $400 to throw at a solution to a minor problem, I'll also have money for a desk set up that works WITH my chronic pain.

    @obelouix @BrayantVideos @Steam Boy, you'd be surprised how quickly things have changed since then. Or maybe you didn't do enough research beforehand? Caddicarus had similar problems.
