Can Steam Deck succeed where the Machines failed? | Podcast
Latest episode available now, also offers a breakdown of this year's conflict mineral report
The GamesIndustry.biz team gathers behind their mics to discuss the biggest story of the week: the Steam Deck.
With Valve's long-rumoured Switch-like handheld gaming PC finally unveiled, we discuss our reactions to the reveal and who the audience for this device might be.
We also explore the possibilities for indie developers -- or, indeed, any developers -- and the potential for Steam Deck to introduce a new route into the PC games market in a way that has not been seen in years.
In the last segment of this week's show, Brendan offers a breakdown of this year's report on the use of conflict minerals in the games industry. You can find the full report here.
