No trackpads = no thanks

Also why does the screen jut out like that?

How comes Valve is the only one to get inputs right? Not even fan renders get it right.

Nobody else is thinking of it as "PC gaming on a console"

They're thinking in terms of "A console which is a PC"

In other words, their heads are in console mode rather than in PC gaming mode. They aren't thinking of an effective mouse option to play paradox games and the like.

To buy the DLC?

Exactly. Purchasing Sunset Invasion requires high precision.

I recently finished Planescape Torment, and I can only imagine how much I would've hated it without the touchpads.

100% agree. Loved the Steam Controller. Love the Steam Deck. Drop the trackpads and my use case gets 10x smaller - I’d pass on it.
