The internet reacts to the Steam Deck

Valve announced a new thing, and as always that meant the internet lit up like a switchboard, only with opinions instead of electricity. First we got the obvious out of the way: praising Valve for doing what Nintendidn’t, dubbing the Steam Deck the Switch Pro. As Hard Drive wrote, “At press time, a full technical spec sheet for the Switch Pro also revealed that it would include a long-awaited Switch feature of functional analog sticks.” Oof.

Sony copped it as well. Mark Doherty, who runs the ex-Sony CEO Kaz Hirai parody account, decided to post this take under his own name instead: “With Horizon and Day’s Gone now on Steam, Sony has already given more support to Steam Deck than the PS Vita”. YouTuber and Kindafunny co-founder Greg Miller is also still mad about the Vita.
