Remember playing my Gameboy 30 years ago. Imagine the steam deck 15?

I don’t think Deck, or any pc handheld, will age as gracefully.
I dunno man. In the advent of systems like the Analog Pocket, even the gameboy and GBA look awful now. It’s bonkers how much better GB and GBA games look and play on the Pocket, even off the original carts.
I don’t think they will to be honest.
The ~fifth generation Deck will be able to play all the games the current generation one does right out of the box without rebuying them, unlike the Switch which doesn’t take Gameboy carts.
Sadly modern technology doesn’t age as nicely as Gameboys and other retro stuff will. Some will, but the majority likely won’t.
I think the Steam Deck, with its massive bezels, poor battery life, loud fans, and low resolution screen, will age particularly horribly, yeah. My kids are gonna find mine in a box one day and wonder wtf it even is or how anybody tolerated gaming on it. It’s just how things go. I remember holding a game gear for the first time in the 90s and being absolutely blown away by the screen and visuals. Looking at one now, it looks ridiculous.
It’s just how tech goes.
Compare it to a Game Gear instead and it makes more sense.
