I'll probably still be using my Steam Deck in 2035 lol. It's just so perfect for the types of games I play - mostly older stuff and modern pixel art / 2D games. I just beat Spiritfarer on it after beating Graveyard Keeper, and I'm nearly to the "end" of Stardew. I've played through FFVIII, FFIX, and FFX on it. My gaming time has quadrupled now that I can play all my games in bed or on the toilet or at the park. Just an amazing little machine.

There's also the fact that even in the future, you'll be able to have a current-for-the-time PC, and still be able to stream to the Deck locally anywhere in the house if you're playing then-modern games.

It just has the perfect form factor and ergonomics to be the champion of that job, and i don't see that changing any time soon.
