Comments on: AYANEO AIR Plus - A Powerful Windows Handheld That Fits in Your Pocket https://steamdeckhq.com/news/ayaneo-air-plus-review/ Mon, 31 Jul 2023 09:39:52 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9.1 By: Anno https://steamdeckhq.com/news/ayaneo-air-plus-review/#comment-2687 Mon, 31 Jul 2023 09:39:52 +0000 https://steamdeckhq.com/?p=9220#comment-2687 Why not support the freedom aspect more? There will be another Steam Deck eventually. No one would *really* like to use Microsoft's Windows and just keep empowering it all over again?

In this day and age a platform should not matter, but the likes of Microsoft and Nintendo don't want that. Platform freedom is a matter of time though. Would like to see it sped up though through small "sacrifices"?

That's the plan. We want to evolve into a handheld PC website, focusing on optimizing games for the most popular ones!

Yeah, I think in terms of longevity it's good for the site to branch out a bit too. Worth bearing in mind that new AAA games coming out will just simply not boot on the Steam Deck. Starfield for example is unlikely to work on the Deck.

New releases and interest in the Deck will gradually decline over time. In 2022, the only choice people really had was a $1000 Ayaneo or a $400 Deck. In 2024, there'll be products far more powerful than the Deck, for a slightly higher price. If I was to buy a handheld PC in 2024, I would not be buying a Deck, so that's something "Deck-Specific" sites have to consider.

I would consider us more a handheld PC website with a focus on the Steam Deck. We focus on Linux a bit more because of it being the Steam Deck’s OS, but we want to cover handheld PCs in general. We are still figuring out the best way to move forward, possibly a sister site for the other handhelds, but we still want to offer the content in the meantime.
