it was (mostly) fine for PC. it was only absolutely abysmal if you were a console player.
For PC, although there were bugs, it wasn’t as buggy when comparing it to like a bethesda title. It just got a lot of vitrol because its of the very rare moments in time where the console version of a title was unplayable(as when something is usually unplayable, its usually the oppisite)
It used to be that way. That last gen was literally the LAST gen. Xbox is a digital platform, Sony is moving towards being the budget gaming PC for families, Nintendo has made the Switch 2 a redesign and screen upgrade that’s (hopefully) cheaper than a Steam Deck.
I won’t make any bets, but the console wars seem to have ended (unless Xbox vs. Steam Deck becomes a selling point).
Steam OS at home IMO will eventually take off. Valve is already about to release the valve(pun intended) to allow 3rd party companies to bundle steam OS on their devices. given that steam os offers almost 90% of the experience of a home console, with a larger library, higher upfront cost, but a lower long term cost(cheaper games, stores don’t expire, no online subscription), the steam os will eventually become the natural competitor to the playstation(imo) to fill in Microsofts absence. PC has already been the dominant non mobile platform in spending for awhile already
