“…we aren’t thinking about new hardware until next year at least” doesn’t mean that they aren’t working on it now. And they seem to have low confidence that said new hardware will even make it out next year. Yes, we are likely years out from a new Steam Deck, and you shouldn’t plan on one being imminent. That’s not the same thing as them no longer working on it.

Yes, I did. I also didn’t read between the lines and take that to mean that they’re not working on it, investing in it, etc. It just means that we can’t predict the future, and what makes sense now might not make sense in a few years when the technology does exist. The Outlook section was the author’s conjecture of what could come to pass, but he can’t predict the future either.

“We are working on Steam Deck 2,” Aldehayyat chimed in. “There is going to be a successor.”
That was seven months ago, and it’s very clear. Successful gaming hardware usually starts prototyping the next one very quickly, even if it’s years away. If they didn’t, then they’d always lag far behind the latest technology. Valve don’t know the year. With tariffs alone, trying to set a release date for a new piece of hardware could be a nightmare.
It’s strange to me that they said that and then in the more recent article walked back that promise but fair enough. I’ve never seen this one before so TIL
That’s because, as I’ve been trying to tell you, they didn’t walk it back. You assumed it meant something that it didn’t.
You know I’ve been at least arguably polite (maybe the questioning of you read the article came off as rude but genuinely it seemed like you did not). Yet throughout this conversation you continue to kind of be patronizing and needlessly hostile, certainly we can admit you’re being far ruder than I am. I thought I was being polite not pointing out the fact that you held onto that article for several comments and could’ve easily ended this earlier on by showing your homework, especially when I specifically asked for it and fully admitted maybe I am out of date on my information, but for some reason you waited all this time and now you’re all angry because you’ve had to have this full on discussion that you basically necessitated, so it bears mentioning.
Either way we are clearly past the point of productivity with this conversation. Thank you for the new information, have a good one.
Not one of my responses was intended to be hostile or patronizing, but tone can be hard to convey via text. I’m sorry if you took it that way. I was merely pointing out that you arrived at a conclusion that they didn’t state definitively in the article we both read.
