Arrr, me hearties! Some scallywags be whisperin’ of a pocket-friendly Arm-powered Steam Deck! But I say, ‘tis as likely as findin’ a mermaid in a barrel o’ rum! Keep yer doubloons close, for that treasure be a fanciful jest!
Ahoy, mateys! Gather 'round as I spin ye a yarn 'bout Valve, the scallywags behind the wondrous Proton translation layer, now tinkerin' with a version fer Arm processors! Aye, this magical tool be lettin' ye play yer Windows games on Linux, and it seems they've got a shiny new version called 'proton-arm64ec-4' in the works, ready to take on titles like Left 4 Dead 2 and Shadows of Mordor!Word on the deck is that this be hintin' at a possible Arm64 SteamOS, makin' way for a swashbucklin' Steam Deck runnin' on an Arm chip, rather than the AMD beasties it currently sports. Aye, a more affordable and battery-friendly Deck be in the horizon, if the winds be blowin' right! But let’s not get too carried away; x86 be makin' strides too, and the current Deck be already quite the treasure when on sale.
But hold yer horses! This venture might be more 'bout expandin' Steam to Arm-based laptops, like the newfangled Copilot+ PCs. Analysts be sayin' these beauties will be flyin' off the shelves by 2025, and Valve seems keen on catchin' that casual gaming tide. So, keep yer spyglass trained, for this be just the start of the adventure, and who knows where the seas may take us! Yarrr!
