Why did Steam Deck fail?

>>714863042 (OP)
It didn't, keep seething tendie

Why are Snoys like this?

>>714863042 (OP)
its not portable and theres no fucking point using it at home when you can just use your pc. its literally made for retarded man babies who need a new toy just for the sake of having a new toy.

>>714863042 (OP)
How the fuck did the Steam Deck fail? It literally spawned an entire new segment of video game handhelds. Is it the sales numbers? The fact that the Steam Deck sold millions of units while having precisely 0 (ZERO) fucking marketing anywhere.

The Steam Deck 1 (and OLED version) is a solid handheld. If the Steam Deck 2 is more powerful to easily run the most demanding games, I can see it really lift off.

>>714863042 (OP)
shit, Ghost of Sparta was a miracle, somehow looks better than nuGOW. On the fucking psp no less

>why do you like something I don't like?

>>714863042 (OP)
It succeeded with the people it's meant for.

>>714863042 (OP)
ill tell you my reason
1. the CPU cant really handle ps3 emulation
2.The laptop i got for 800 euro has a 4060 and that's at least 2x faster
3.Small screen and I'm not squinting at games

It's glorified accessory for an online store only sold direct to consumer with a very low production output.
Anyone trying to equate this to mass market device that sells at big chain stores is being at best desingenous, at worst a shill.

that feels like a lot of marketing to me

>>714863327
Steam Deck 2 needs to be lighter and smaller. As it stands, not very portable. Also loses battery very quickly.

>>714864269
you heard about because you are someone who has a big interest in videogames, and goes on 4chan, arguably one of the most central and connected websites for the internet. Now think of the average normie that buys a PS5 or a Switch. Think they heard of the steam deck ? No they fucking didn't.

Valve doesn't really have a great track record with hardware.
Wouldn't surprise me if the deck gets abandoned eventually.

>>714864751
So.... like every fucking thing in existence...?

>>714863042 (OP)
Adults don't actually want a handheld anymore. My PC is hooked up to my TV when I want to game with a controller.
Children will just get a switch, so who is left to get one of these things?

>>714864590
I don't care about any of that. Just that the steam deck did have marketing

I just can't see it. We were told by every scientist that vaccines work, that Moore's law is real. Why the fuck can't a PSP-sized handheld exist? Why won't they just put in a Snapdragon chipset inside of it and make games for it?

>>714864834
No, more like the Dreamcast

>>714863327
>It literally spawned an entire new segment of video game handhelds.

That was the Switch. Stream Deck is part of that segment.

>>714863042 (OP)
Deck is doing exactly what Valve wants it to do. Merely selling is only like the third goal beneath improving Proton/SteamOS and spurring on competition so they can load them up that competition with Proton/SteamOS. It sold out when the S2 dropped. They can barely even keep up with demand as it is.

>>714865440
Switch isn't in the same segment, it can't play any PC games unless you know something I don't.

>>714864415
Give up, anon, no big company would ever make a truly portable handheld. It would be impossible to compete against smartphones for casual audience and against chinkhelds for core players.

>>714864751
What the fuck does abandoning the deck even mean?
Do they put out games for the deck?
Does the deck rely on an exclusive subscription model? Any services that are meant to work only on the deck?
It's like a small laptop. Were laptops ever "abandoned"?

>>714867038
If we're getting really fucking technical, it is capable. Just in two extremely shitty ways no one would consider (installing Android and Winlator or box86 through Ubuntu).

>>714865440
but the switch is literally gameboy 7
nothing original about it, it's psp with the second analog stick

>>714865440
Valve outright said they didn't think about Nintendo at all. UMPCs have always been a thing and UMPCs were always shit. Valve wanted to fix that.

>>714864415
Lighter, yes, smaller, no. If it doesn't have a big screen, it's not a good enough portable for PC and a ton of games would be unplayable.

>>714865051

>>714863042 (OP)
bro tell me this is photoshopped, psp was great as a handheld but if deck is that big then why is it called a handheld?

>>714867749
The point is that the use case for a handheld form factor PC is completely different than a Switch. Although I suppose you could pretend the handheld PC is a console with SteamOS being a thing now.

>>714864751
how can they abandon it? it's not really supported individually anymore
its support comes from investing in steamos and proton which valve has no intention of abandoning now

Steam Deck users are pretty active at least because every fucking game I play on Steam, no matter how small, there's always someone on the forum discussing Deck support.

>>714868309
It's definitely a bridge between PC and consoles. Valve knows this, Valve wants to put out something to bring people over that are not PC savvy by adding overlays and compatibility tools. By making Steam access convenient and quick they sell more through that storefront.

How is the Retroid Pocket 5 for PS2 and GameCube emulation?

>>714868291
Runs my games fine

>>714863042 (OP)
handheld is a meme

How can I know for sure if a game is fully compatible with the Deck or not? For example, this game here:

https://store.steampowered.com/app/409870/Phantom_Brave_PC/

>>714869226
Install Linux on your PC and try it.

>>714869226
There is a steam deck compatibility button on every single store page, anon

>>714868671
I've heard pretty good, outside of a select number of hard to emulate titles. Apparently RP5 can even run some Switch games.

>>714869226
Its verified, so it should be ok (as long as it isn't a AAA title). If I have a question about a game, I pull up YouTube videos. Reddit and 4chan are worthless because you'll have people saying a game running at 23 fps plays great on the deck.

>>714865181
>Why won't they just put in a Snapdragon chipset inside of it and make games for it?
These exist in abundance.
The difference is Steam don't run on Android.
But of course you know this.

>>714868671
I haven't had issues but I dont play games like Dirge.

>>714869402
It can run 2d and some 3d switch games. There's a spreadsheet with what people have tested

>>714865181
You can get an odin 2 mini.

>>714865181
because it's genuinely cheaper to make the handheld bigger so it can get better cooling than it is to get a beefier SoC that can be more efficient at the same size

>>714869226
3 factors:
1. Requirements, because the Deck is generally weak, although you can use FSR for a good number of games
2. Whether it requires anticheat or not, kernel level anticheat in most cases doesn't work
3. Game engines that are more popular tend to work better just by the fact more people test these out. So a really obscure game with a really weird engine, even if it runs on a toaster and is 20 years old, might have more issues than something that came out literally two days ago that uses UE.

If it shows up as Deck verified, you're in the clear, it is compatible (but it might run like shit, this is never an indicator of performance). You have ProtonDB to check, but don't trust it fully. Platinum means dick and fuck. Some people don't test out the shit they play for more than 10 minutes. While it happens less often, crashes occurring at specific points in specific games on proton are still a thing.

>>714869562
I don't want an Android phone though. I want a handheld-form device that runs a proprietary operating system.

>>714869562
>The difference is Steam don't run on Android.
yet
only a matter of time before the arm64 proton translates into android compatibility

My passion for gaming : revived

>>714869790
What games are you going to play on it?

>>714869936
All of them, just like on the Vita.

>>714869895
The deck is already a brick, why the fuck would you use a case with it like it's a phone

>>714869372
I must be retarded, where is this button?

>>714867968
before Valve there was GPD, but they were chinks and some of their devices had dogshit build quality (hinges constantly snapped on the Win 2, for example) and whatever the fuck kind of abomination is picrel
i still want a proper clamshell UMPC not designed by the chinks, the only real option that provides actual power nowadays is that GPD Win Mini with the new CPU they have, but it's like 1400€ for me

If they're winning so hard, and the Deck was such a flop, then why do I keep seeing these threads and keep seeing tendies absolutely losing their collective fucking shit in these threads? HMMMMMMM?

I have both a Deck and a Switch. Used to play the Switch every single day, haven't touched it since I got my Deck
>B-b-but Switch 2!!!
That's where I'm jumping off the tendie train, this consoles release and the "we're gonna brick it if you make us mad" shit is super despotic and the scales have fallen from my eyes and I truly see just how like a cult you motherfuckers really are.

>TL;DR:
I've thoroughly enjoyed my Deck. I don't regret purchasing it at all.

>>714870128
October or November

>>714870096
>>714869226
oh yeah and you can set your Steam settings to show Steam Deck compatibility in your Library

>>714863042 (OP)
Deck is a side gig for Valve, in that sense, its been very successful
its naturally going to have a slower adoption rate since most of its potential customers will be people who already have Steam accounts and likely gaming PCs, but its always been marketed towards a niche and its been very popular within that niche
It also functions as a mini PC, so it can be used in the same way you'd use a laptop and is highly customizable for people that value that versatility in a device

I think steam deck 2 needs to come with its own dedicated dock next time.

They are developing the Steam Controller 2 so selling a version of the Steam Deck 2 OLED that comes with the Steam Controller and an official deck that upscales to 4k would be based. I wouldn't mind paying $1k for that, frankly.

>>714870224
From what I read on /v/, the deck 2 will have the latest and greatest amd chip, oled, 1tb, a better battery, and cost less than a deck 1.

I see that they don't sell it with charger, how the fuck do I charge it, what V and mA and Hz does it need?

Everyone has their different issues with the deck, complaining about how little it sells, how much of a brick it is, how weak it is compared to other handhelds.
My biggest issue honestly is that the d-pad is absolute fucking garbage, and the controllers aren't detachable, so there's no third party solution to this other than either installing a clicky kit which isn't even that good either, or god forbid fuck with the portability, place it on a desk and connect a controller to it, making it kind of worthless.
I've been using the analog more and more for shit I used to play with a d-pad. It's a shame because the console is fairly ergonomic and initially I thought the weight and control layout would make me suffer, but it's been more than fine.

>>714870504
Unless youre buying from third party reseller, it comes with a charger....

>>714870612
So is this as an option to not include charger then?

>>714870504
Mine came with a charger? Are you buying fucking refurbished?

When you get a deck you have a system where it's a bit less convenient to pirate games on PC. Despite there being plenty of tools to do that, people treat it more like a console and they bite, just for convenience they end up buying some of those steam games on sales rather than just download them from somewhere. Is it difficult to run a gog launcher on linux? Is it difficult to use a cracked version from somewhere and add it to that non-steam games library? fuck no. But it still takes a bit of extra effort that can be saved by just spending 3 dollars on that fucking game on steam instead. And when, for some absurd reason, you decide to factory reset the damn thing, downloading all those games back with their cloud saves is a breeze. Oh, that too. The cloud saves work on PC without having to use extra tools, like syncthing, so that sort of convenience is what Valve wants to sell to you, so they can sell you more games. That is their main objective.

>>714870723
>not being an American
>2025

Lulz.

>>714870723
Indeed, it is an option. Yes, it's as retarded as it sounds, you don't get it for cheaper without a charger. It's just in case you believe that's too much e-waste and you already have your own chargers. Which is dumb because most chargers aren't good enough for the deck (well, some of them are also overkill for it)

>>714870723
>Foreign funbuxx
Remove all foreigners from 4chan.

>>714870224
Dock is kind of retarded. A much better idea would be a SteamOS computer without a screen or battery that comes with a bluetooth controller and has stronger hardware since it's supposed to be plugged in. A Steam machine that's actually good.

>>714870842
>>714870968
aren't you getting ready to be drafted? Israel needs more than just 3 billion this time

>>714870784
I really wish that was the case, but unless you're buying popular reddit indie slop or older AAA games it just isn't compatible with the stuff I want to play.
I really regret getting mine. There's always some kind of performance problem or random fix I have to figure out how to download. At that point it's easier to just get a dinky 14in gaming laptop so I at least don't have to fuck around with linux compatibility and the gay shit linux makes you do that windows solved long ago.
I'd switch to linux instantly if it solved its compatibility problems but you're never going to get that when autists have slapfights over commits and then pull their programs because someone didn't use the right pronouns for a pedophile who has the open source license to the single brick holding up the entire building so now all my shit is going to be broken the next time someone in the chain updates something and the fix I was using to make a single game work no longer does.
MS is full of jeets and glownigs but at least I can make the games I want to play work on their machines.

They don't usually come with SteamOS. That being said, that's exactly what a docked SteamDeck is, except the Steam Deck is less powerful because it has to work handheld.

>>714871253

>>714865051
You dumb nigger dick. I was the one who told my Normie friends about the Steam Deck after showing it off at a party and a lot of people wanting to play on it. I think that got Valve a couple of sells because a few weeks later a couple of the bros wives were calling me on how to get it for Christmas. Trust me, Normies have no clue about this. So the fact that it sold the way it did from word of mouth alone is huge. Valve wanted to created a new market for their store and they succeeded. Now you have PC handhelda being sold at Best Buy and other retail stores. You have Microsoft wanting to get into said Market. Hell, Sony wants to get back into the Handheld Market.

I love my Steam Deck. It's best "console" ever. You can emulate all the good old games on it and have a nice big handheld for them. The steam front end is also good. It's the most comfortable gaming experience you can have. Sure you don't get a big screen, but I think for old games it's actually better to play on a small screen. It makes them look better.

>>714871413
Does PCSX2 work on Deck?

>>714863042 (OP)
The PSP3000 only had like less than 3 hours of battery life.

>>714871468
Sure, even PS3 works well.

>>714869776
In my experience, I would say that 90% of Single Player games I played worked great without any tinkering. The few that didn't work just requires a specific version of Proton or just need some steam commands that are easily available online.

>>714871169
>At that point it's easier to just get a dinky 14in gaming laptop so I at least don't have to fuck around with linux compatibility and the gay shit linux makes you do that windows solved long ago.
I legitimately don't know what you want to play that gives you so much trouble that most of it just does not work. Gachashit? Multiplayer stuff?

It didn’t. They succeeded in exposing brainlets who don’t understand how company investments into marketing works though. No wonder so many poor people browse /v/. Y’all really are dumb

>>714871110
or they could actually package in SteamOS as its own standalone OS in a USB stick you can immediately install on your PC

SteamOS 3.7 stable that will be better than Bazzite

>>714872096
It can't be better than Bazzite because Valve doesn't have the resources to directly support all hardware. SteamOS is intende to be a tailored experience for a specific type of device.

Too big, tranny magnet etc

>>714872820
The size is actually good
Means the battery is bigger, the cooling can handle more so the SoC sees more use, the battery is bigger and you don't have to awkwardly hold it in midair to see the small screen and can rest it on your lap
The only detriments are portability without a container is worse and it's harder to use while walking around, something only a phone should realistically do and you're still not doing it two handed

>>714872820
Maaan, I've been missing PSP games as of late even though I haven't played any of them in 15+ years... guess I'll just have to emulate some of them on my Deck.

>>714871515
More like 5 hours, still not great. These days people take out the UMD drive and put these fuckhuge batteries in, then they get like 20+ hours of battery life.

For PSP games or emulation? I was considering getting one of those chink handhelds for battery life

>>714874076
PSP/PS1 games. The PSP is dogshit for emulation outside of the PS1, not really worth thinking about. Most Chinese handhelds don't get great battery life either though, depending on what you're emulating, you should look into battery life tests for whatever you're looking at.

>>714869226
Arkham Asylum is completely unsupported on the Deck.
I went and downloaded ProtonQT on Desktop Mode and it worked 100%.

>>714864415
Handhelds are absolutely not getting smaller. Nobody wants to strain their eyes looking at tiny screens. One of the biggest mistakes of the PSP was thinking it needed to conform to the form factor of the folded Nintendo DS.

>>714874564
This. They even have a mobile app.

>>714863327
This. The only option you had before the Steam Deck was chinkshit for 1200 or 1500 bucks.
It was only after the Steam Deck released that Asus, Lenovo and MSI decided to make gaming handhelds and at an acceptable price point.
Gabe mentioned he wanted to fill the void there was for handhelds gaming. He has already won.

>>714874286
I feel like any handheld in 2025 should be able to play something like Pokemon for twice as long without charging, emulation or not

>>714868298
Because you hold it in your hands nigger retard.

>>714863042 (OP)

It's a PC you cannot upgrade, and a portable console you have to jump through hoops to play certain games. It was always going to fail. Normalfags also aren't going to touch a linux distro with a 10 foot pole.

>>714875758
Not really a realistic expectation for an emulator. handhelds these days either run Linux, Android or possibly Windows on the very high end. All of that comes with overhead. Even a MiyooMini has around 8~ hours of battery life. Also, the screens used these days require more power than an old Game Boy or GBC screen. Putting an OLED screen into a GBC brings the battery life down to like 8-10 hours.

>>714877782
They should just invent a remote battery charger

>>714878552
i hope you're kidding

>>714876152
Fym you can't upgrade it?
You can literally upgrade the SSD.
Anyhow I still haven't seen a handheld that is upgradable in any other sense.
You can't upgrade more than the SSD in laptops either.
And also the steam deck is built for a different market, just like I wouldn't use an Apple phone and use android instead.
And you don't have to do anything with linux on the device either, desktop mode is completely optional.

>>714878552
What we need is better battery tech, which is on the way (solid-state batteries) but it's going to be a long time before we see it in handhelds.

Because Reddit /r/PCMR and /v Era/ are echochambers of PC fanboyism. No self-reflection even after the knowledge the Switch 2 outsold the Steam Deck in 72 hours or the fact Steam Deck failed to outsell the N-Gage, PS Vita, and Wii U.

I already see the same excuses here and the same type of fanboys. The same thing that happened with Steam Machines that /r/PCMR /v Era/ pretends didn't happen. Fanboys, lol.

Valve is not a hardware manufacturer. Every first party Steam Deck they manufacture gets sold, they're at capacity. They want the Proton/Steam ecosystem to expand and to put Linux on more machines.
If they could get actual hardware manufacturers to make, market and sell devices with Steam OS they'd stop making the Deck.

It doesn't need to succeed or fail. Valve is a research and development company and doesn't give a single shit about how much money it burns. Some people enjoy their hardware. Many will never purchase it. Simple as.

>>714884429
>Blue Revolver
Truly my nigger.

>>714886281
All the Xbox fans buying it will not install Linux

>>714888372
>lists a bunch of shitty games

>>714889286
Xbox fans are too poor to afford it

>>714863327
Gpd xd, gpd win 1, 2, and 3 and other brands existed before the deck anon, quit outing yourself newfags.

>>714889368
all right, then, list like, 10 of your favorite games

>>714884040
How many people do you see running around with a deck?

>>714889014
Mission Mode is the best side content I have encountered in a shmup in a LONG time. It does a great job of gamifying the practice grind, and also my monkey brain likes unlocking new wallpapers and remixed

>>714889530
Call of Duty
Gears of War
Halo
Elder Scrolls
Fallout
Assassin's Creed
Metro
Grand Theft Auto
Red Dead
Witcher

>>714890343
Steam Deck bros... not like this...

>>714890343
and what portable can you play all those on?

>>714863042 (OP)
It still sells out today, Valve isn't a multinational hardware company

>>714884496
Is it a 1 to 1 comparison to a real PS3 or will we need to drop to 480p or lower?

>>714863665
I played Demons souls, dragon quest builders, and dragons crown on it
>bbbbut those aren't resource intensive games
They're the only good games on ps3

>>714891074
Rog Ally.

>>714889479
And they were all shit, underpowered, overpriced, poorly built and scared to commit to a controller form factor, the closest it ever got to addressing playing PC games being fucking mini keyboards. A dead market through and through, a morbid curiosity only ultra autists ever entertained.

>>714891359
>no trackpads
Truly a consolenigger device

>>714891359
>no OLED
No thanks.

>>714863042 (OP)
No idea what this is on about, it's perfect for me and what I wanted, like I can introduce my little sis to old vg on it through emulation without having to worry about copyright or anything, it's amazing, I could even show her mother 3 when I get her to finish earthbound

>>714863665
>800 euro
You can buy the steam deck for like 350 anon, not really that fair of a comparison

>>714891404
>>no trackpads

>>714892062
I look like this act like this and sound like this!

>>714863042 (OP)
What makes you think it failed tendie?

>>714892062
What a conundrum! Should I play with an OLED screen... or cater to some random retard on /v/ and play on a shitty screen? Decisions, decisions.

>>714884496
run god of war 3 on it then

>>714891781
sure it is its 600 here

>>714892382
I live in a third world country and I bought a very slightly used one for like 250 dollars anon, 512 gb lcd edition

>>714863042 (OP)
There's been ~4 million of them sold. How did the Steam Deck "fail"?

>>714892540
my laptop has 100% srgb why would I compare it to the lcd that is awful?
anyway the laptop was new why would i compare with used price?

>>714864415
>Also loses battery very quickly
i dont undestand how people actually expect gaming to go on a battery powered device
owned a bunch of handhelds through times from Gamesnoys to PSPs/Vitas and now eck
pretty much all of them have shit battery life, maybe not gameboy if i recall correctly but that shit was 8 bit
i remember i had to have my psp plugged in most of the time since battery was shit
i never even considered deck to be a "battery" powered device, whenever and wherever i use it, its always plugged in (which is actually also good for the battery since eck has power pass-trough) its just portable in its size

>>714892804
Yeah that's true, I guess the real problem here with the steam deck is the price, I feel like I got my money's worth for what I paid, but 600 is a lot.

>>714892636
because valve didn't clown on themselves by making it a big launch with the early proton, duh
tendies think valve can just force people to make games conform around the deck like nintendo

>>714870005
for better grip mostly

>>714863042 (OP)
It didn't, Snoy, it literally owns the PC handheld market to the point that it is the PC handheld market.

>>714893238

>>714888415
Well I found a video that had me type some commands so I could reset the desktop mode to the default resolution every time, guess it worked out. The cable was basically worthless, so it goes.

>>714863171
That's because it's made for big hands. Oh yeah, connects to 3rd party peripherals. Streaming turns my deck into a touchscreen adapter for my 32inch 4k for immersive HuniePop that's faster than mouse. Literally never a batter way to goon galgames. Supports linux.

>>714863327
What a retarded take. You get blasted with Deck shit every time you open the steam main page. Of course you can't block adds on Steamshit so it's even more annoying.

>>714865181
>Why the fuck can't a PSP-sized handheld exist?
It can
> Why won't they just put in a Snapdragon chipset inside of it and make games for it?
Tegra and amd apus are better

>>714867693
Nintendo and Sony could, but they wont

>>714863042 (OP)
If it failed there wouldn’t be daily threads about it 2 years after the OLED model released.

>>714864415
>Steam Deck 2 needs to be smaller.
no it fucking doesn't
no one plays those while walking around which is the only time you'd care about the size
the bigger size helps if you use it like a sane person, it allows for more cooling, better battery and a saner viewing distance

>>714864415
>lighter
Is the world populated by onions chugging golems or something? The Deck isn't heavy.
>smaller
Won't happen. Shouldn't happen. Size is a direct tradeoff for power in the current handheld market, and the Deck is marketed as being reasonably powerful. I'm all for having a smaller handheld dedicated handheld for old games / emulation, but I don't see how a company would compete with phones (utility) and chinkhelds (price point). I agree that it's a bummer.

>>714890343
This is a genuinely embarrassing list of games.

>>714896821
Reducing size also has a negative impact on handheld comfort and (obviously) screen size / visibility.

>>714890343
This is almost the exact same list as top 10 marketing budgets of the the past few years

>>714864415
>Also loses battery very quickly.
The entire battery industry needs to improve. They're dragging everything down.

>>714864415
no, fuck you. it's not our fault you have gay hands

>1080p
>Keep the OLED
>Maybe go for 120 hz, 90 is not bad I guess
>Bigger battery
>At least 1.5x the performance
>32 Gb RAM
>Hall effect shit
That's it, I made the Steam Deck 2

no self respecting person would buy a downgraded laptop for $550 when they can get a real console, and the cultist shilling it are literally pushing people away with how cringy their shilling is
it's no surprise the switch 2 in a month already outsold the deck's 3 years of sales

>>714897737
Sounds kino.

>>714898134
>> 714715173 stick to your containmen- oh wait no one cares about your toy here

>>714863327
>0 (ZERO) fucking marketing anywhere
reddit and /v/ have been heavily advertising that failed garbage for years

>>714898134
I think I only agree with the shitty cybertruck one

>>714898134
>>714715173
stick to your containmen- oh wait no one cares about your toy here

>>714897737
>Hall effect shit
This is probably never happening on a consumer product. I don't think the large scale supply situation on those is very good.

>>714898298
embarrassing

>>714896821
i wish to see some change in cooling design
imagine copper heat pipes covering the entire soc and then on the outside you clip in a big heatsink with a fan covering it and you go from 30w tdp to 100w tdp

>everyone who has one loves it
It was a massive success.

>>714898134
Self awareness is not your forte.

>>714899963
I've seen on Twitter a few times where people claim it's just collecting dust for them. It's hard for me to understand them. I guess if they have a comfy couch setup, it makes some sense, but it's so much more comfortable than sitting at a PC for me.

>>714898134
no one "likes" windows 11 unless their morals are bound by a caste system, its only tolerated. win11 is shit

>>714900402
Depends on if they have a different pc handheld or not. If they don't then they just don't actually care much for video games.

>>714863042 (OP)
Did it? It kickstarted the handheld gaming PC industry and adoption of Linux as a gaming platform.

>>714900729
windows 11 is no different from any previous version
all people whining about it are just poorfags on toasters blaming the OS because their computers struggle running anything

>>714903503
No it's quite different. They took everything that was made worse in 7 and 10 and doubled down on it.

>>714903503
Hello saar

>>714903503
One microdick has been deposited into your account

>>714863327
Valve doesn’t need to waste money on marketing because shills do it for them for free

>>714898378
that's word of mouth though

It didn't. Not everything is a console war dick measuring contest you fucking retards.
