Seems like I am alone in that, but I am not a fan of the Steam Deck.
First I am going to wait on real-life performance, heat, fans/noise

It's much heavier than the Switch.
Base model only has 64GB eMMC as Storage. Dock is purchased separately and the controller is not detachable in that state.

And I doubt this thing works well for Strategy games and old games which is a lot of the stuff I play on Steam.

Don't worry, I'm not a fan either.

First, it's too damn heavy. Funny how some people were riling against the weight of the Wii U gamepad but don't seem to mind the weight of this thing despite it being much heavier.

The storage is too small. Keep in mind there's a big chunk used already with the OS, especially with the 64 GiB version. And newer games fill up the space very quickly.

Finally, despite the weight, the battery life is lower than on the Switch, even the OG model, who got bashed for having a low batttery life.

And under heavy stress, I fear it could get pretty noisy too, though that might not be the case considering how thick this handheld is - thicker than some laptops.

It's Steam. Their store crashes every damn sale. What did you expect would happen?!

Is Steam really crashing so much on you guys? It never even once crashed on me.
