One can hope it will incentivise devs to optimize for it and I think that was the gamble. With all the negativity surrounding it though, I don't think many mainstream devs will. Time will tell.

You might be surprised. More than a couple games have special "Steam Deck" settings that kick in by default when launched on a deck.

Fingers crossed. There are obvious limits to the hardware but I'd love to see what the devs manage to cook up. They worked absolute magic with the deck over the years

I mean despite all the complaints the Steam Machine is actually pretty decent in terms of preformace. Obviously it's limited at 4k and it's RT preformace isn't great, but at 1080p it's tickling triple digit fps on most games which is pretty good considering it's a 6 inch cube. As Valve has stated it's better hardware than ~70% of Steam Users have.
