It's expensive hard ware, with limited utility. I have many expensive hardwares I run Steam games on. Most of them I would rather get rid of, but are stuck with due to the PLATFORM LOCK-IN ...of Windows. I've already shunned many games and many whole game franchise, like Call Of Duty, due purely to their Windows platform lock-in.

The biggest thing that would upset me, is if a bunch games came out with yet another platform lock-in, for the Steam Deck. I've already bought several games that are supposed to work on my preferred gaming platform, Linux, but do not work properly, as they focus on Steam Deck support. The first one being Aperture Desk Job.
