I really appreciate how Valve saw the immense growth of the PC gaming market, during the COVID lockdowns, and decided to expand the reach further with the Steam Deck.

Yes they're capitalising on it, but in the best way since the product is revered as being rather good (and not half-arsed).

If I didn't have a gaming PC already, I'd consider it for sure.

Agree. I think the growth caused by the lockdown and their interest of pushing linux gaming even further made the steam deck to be idealized.
