If it wasn't for the fact that a lot of people here have a good sized Steam library, I doubt they'd have a Steam Deck either.
It's more a "bonus way to play about half your PC games on the toilet" than it is a primary gaming platform.
That is not true. Steam games are normally much cheaper, you can also get tons of free games over Steam or Epic. Biggest issue with Steam Deck is the size. It is adult sized even my wife is not comfortable with it and it is too big for children. You would need to use it in combination with a controller.
Nah, you're not giving the steam deck nearly enough credit. It fills a very similar niche to the switch - a viable mobile gaming option that can also be readily used for couch gaming. You don't need a large steam library to get use out of that, just like how the average switch owner probably only has a few switch games.
You could. But realistically how many have?
I've tripled my library since getting a deck and use it more often than my PC.
AAAAAH. WAAAT. NO. DON'T PLAY ON THE TOILET. COME ON, GUYS.
