Ah yes lemme just shell out $50 dollars a month or more just so I can use my steam deck to play multiplayer games over the slow and spotty mobile network that exists where I live. That's a totally reasonable thing to do.
Or I can just continue to pay 15 bucks a month and use my steam deck offline while still getting decent enough service and enough data to do everything I'd actually be able to reliably do on a mobile network outside of a large city.
Mobile networks ain't reliable and not every plan permits the mobile hotspot feature to function. That was my entire point with that comment.
That when when your device is unlocked your carrier still gets to decide if that particular feature is even functional.
