Something I’ve been thinking: Steam Machine will extend the Steam Deck’s lifespan.
Steam Deck is still hanging on with a lot of big AAA games, but with next gen right around the corner, it could get tougher. That’s where the Steam Machine comes in. When you need that power boost, you can connect your Deck to it and stream remotely, just like a PlayStation Portal. It might be even BETTER though since Deck has a better WiFi chip than the Portal, and an OLED screen.
I haven’t messed around too much with streaming but I definitely will once I get a Steam Machine
