Valve has shipped over one million units of the Steam Deck as of October, 2022



During a conference made by KDE at the Akademy 2022 event, titled "Full Steam Ahead: KDE's journey on the Steam Deck", David Edmundson, KDE's spokesperson during the event, announced that the Steam Deck console by Valve has shipped over one million units as of the start of October, 2022.

KDE is a free software community that provides a variety of open source software on many Linux distributions, which the Steam Deck's operating system, SteamOS, is based on. One of these softwares is the actual desktop environment itself, Plasma, alongside other programs, tools and apps used within the very same operating system, like Dolphin (KDE's file manager), KWrite or Kate (a programming text editor), and many others.

In the event, Edmundson goes through many details of their work together with Valve, and what users can expect in the near future in terms of KDE's side of things for the Steam Deck.

yeah guess I'm drastically underestimating the number of people who only play PC games via the Deck or don't use Steam nearly as extensively had they not bought a Deck.
Some games just fit the portable form factor better too, speaking as somebody with a pretty strong PC myself. I've bought maybe only one or two games specifically for play on Deck, but verified/playable status is always seen as a plus.

I've bought a couple I'll only play on my Deck but they aren't big purchases. You are correct that I already have TONS of crap to go through first but they will no doubt be making some money off me at the end of the day. That's assuming they didn't already with my model.
