I am surprised there aren't more local multiplayer games on the list. The steam deck is great hooked up to a TV with multiple controllers
I suspect most people who buy one already have another gaming device. If I'm gonna play couch co-op games, I'm just switching the video output of my desktop to the projector, not docking my deck.
I used to use Steam link with my desktop but I find the experience of docking the steam deck way more reliable.
That's nice. But I think most people literally just hook up the big screen with an actual display cable.
Maybe if you live in an apartment or dorm where your gaming PC is in your living room.
