I love this about the steam deck, I just installed cyberpunk and Witcher 3 and both games have a graphics option for steam deck.
I think the steamdeck not releasing new models every year is also a good idea as it gives devs a specific hardware to optimize for.
This also will make sure devs optimize games so that they can run on lower end hardware.
It’s really a win for everyone.
100% Online gaming is pretty toxic and I love being able to play at my own pace.
Only exception to this for me was stardew with my wife.
