I mean it’s already throttled so much if anything Valve was over concerned with thermals. But yea, I could see the modding aspect making things even worse.

Shooting from the hip: The enclosure could have been a thermal nightmare that valve didn’t want their name on.

It’s not difficult at all to install GOG games on the steam deck. The games that typically show up in GOG aren’t bleeding edge and tend to work well with its limited hardware. If you understand that a steam deck has a “console” mode and a “desktop” mode… I don’t get the source of the confusion.

It’s a pc. You’re good.
