The steamdeck userbase is lower than the mobile/console userbase

Tbf the mobile userbase is the biggest gaming userbase in the world. I know a couple people in my life who only play games on their phones and have zero interest in conventional gaming.

Eh it's fine bud. At the very least those people now understand a bit more about other gamers and why we do what we do.

So is the Nintendo switch, Epic released fortnite on every imaginable platform, including my samsung smartfridge, so let's be honest, the only real reason is that supporting the steam deck is directly supporting the store front they're trying to go against, otherwise the dozen or so million desktop Linux+Deck gamers would have been acknowledged by Epic long ago.

Your samsung smart fridge being…Android

Does Heroic having millions of users? It says 2.4m downloads

The switch has over 132 million sold

just thought I'd come in and say that those fridges run Tizen, which is based on the Linux kernel. It's pretty far from android in everything but aesthetic

Fortnite doesn’t support that

Also Android uses the Linux kernel
