The second sentence in the article is "Valve's Steam platform had the most new releases overall".
Not a surprise, given that the deck just plays PC games.
I think that your use of minimization with the word "just" here is grossly inappropriate considering the accomplishment it is to get such a console-like experience with PC games, and in a handheld factor. Before the steam deck launched, there was one device even remotely similar to it and the experience was garbage as it used the Windows UI for everything. There were other devices vaguely in that realm like the GPD Win, but they were the furthest thing from a streamlined experience possible.
Thanks for the 9 days later update
You're welcome.
