One of Valve's developers accidentally teased a certain application running on the Steam Deck, before covertly covering it up, in a now-deleted promotional video for the Steam Deck. In the original trailer that celebrated Valve no longer requiring a reservation for purchasing the Steam Deck, if you paid close attention, you could see something that might look familiar, if you've ever emulated Nintendo Switch games. Yuzu Emulator was featured in the library of a Valve dev, showing that even they're using the Steam Deck as an emulation powerhouse. The video lasted a few hours before someone pointed it out, after which it was immediately deleted, and reuploaded with a new version that featured Portal 2's boxart where the custom Yuzu Emulator boxart had been previously.

Nintendo suing Valve, that would be entertaining

Yes please

Nintendo suing Valve, that would be entertaining

Nintendo would lose big time

Nobody cares.

More like Nintendo doesn't care about the legality of emulation.

 

[ChiefReginod]

The real reason they took it down is because it would have been illegal to dunk so hard on their competition.

What just looks like the Switch? The Deck?

Bruh...

The Steam Deck reminds me the Sega design philosophy during the 90s:

Is in black, looks and feels weird

and kinda mocks the competition like this ad

Nobody cares.

That's not true, I care!

Thanks to Sony, emulation is solidified as legal. Also, pretty much every major company uses emulation, even Nintendo them selves.

Valve's dead to rights and was caught red-handed, and now they wanna cover it up acting like it never happened 🙄😒🤦🏽‍♂🤷🏽‍♂😅😆😂

 

[CoolMe]

True.

I really tried to get used to the GameGear back then, but it was uncomfortable compared to the Game Boy.

Except Nintendo lol

Is Nintendo harassing you personally?

Is Nintendo harassing you personally?

Does my personal experience change Nintendo's view on emulation now?

Why should we care about Nintendo's view exactly? If Nintendo's view doesn't affect you in any way, shape or form, you should just forget about it.

"Nobody cares" and "why should we care" become 2 different discussions. Nintendo does care about emulators being developed, I didn't say anything about myself caring.

Yes, no differences at all.

Yes, no differences at all.

As you can clearly see the Switch and the Steam Deck have dual trackpads, same height and are made by the same company.
