E46: All Hands on Steam Deck
Oh man! Valve, you naughty, naughty dog. You did it. You shook up the industry. This week Valve announced their rumoured handheld console/PC hybrid. Called the Steam Deck. A new type of handheld that is basically a portable PC with controllers on the side. With this device you will be able to play your Steam library on the go. Even modern titles! Not only restricted to Steam, but you can run other PC software on it as well. Other game launchers for example, like Epic Game Store or Ubisoft Connect. It sounds to good to be true and we are very excited about this. So much of this episode is dedicated to the Steam Deck.
Other than that big news, Netflix may offer games in their subscription. Could this be a real competitor to Xbox Game Pass? Well a lot has to be in order to make this even functional, but we think Netflix have a chance here. With their brand recognition and their planned video game adaptations, this could be something big.
We also have a discussion about difficulty in games. Does it matter what you play on? Is beating a game on easy not beating the game? We discuss and come to a fairly good conclusion. Maybe you disagree? Well, let us know! We'll be glad to hear from you!
Consider leaving us a nice review if you liked the episode or share us with other fellow gamers.
Helps us grow man.
