If it wasn't for the fact that a lot of people here have a good sized Steam library, I doubt they'd have a Steam Deck either.

It's more a "bonus way to play about half your PC games on the toilet" than it is a primary gaming platform.

I've tripled my library since getting a deck and use it more often than my PC.

Nah, you're not giving the steam deck nearly enough credit. It fills a very similar niche to the switch - a viable mobile gaming option that can also be readily used for couch gaming. You don't need a large steam library to get use out of that, just like how the average switch owner probably only has a few switch games.

You could. But realistically how many have?
