    For the most popular game chart - DRG:Survivor had a massive update last week - basically it was "add the repeatable progression present in all other auto-shooters" patch, so people came back en masse - I suspect it will fall few places down once the players get most upgrades done.

    While it's disappointing that the Hori pad is currently Japan-only, on the plus side, it's a sign of the rising popularity of PC gaming that's happening in Japan right now.

    Isn't Steam Deck still unavailable in Japan though? I checked the list of countries they do not ship to a week ago while ordering mine, and Japan was the main exclusion, with no local vendor for Steam Deck mentioned, like some other areas do. So the whole idea of releasing a Steam-centric controller in a country they are not even selling Steam Decks seems like one of those ideas, that sound reasonable only if you do not think about them for more than 5 seconds...

    I don't know if there are any good Android games that aren't on PC but if we could just install the APK and play them on our Decks that would be really cool. I used to own an Nvidia Shield and after the initial hype were off for me I didn't really have any good games that made me want to keep playing on there. Most of the games I play on my phone are quick games that aren't really suited to the Steam Deck so like I said I have no idea.

    The android feature is not a big thing. Since this thing is a linux system its not that hard to put an android emulator for linux on it and run android apps. Its possible to do right now I would say. But I don‘t think that there is a reason why.

    I don't think Valve would really get into the Android app stuff themselves, but I think it would make enormous sense to have Android support on Steam OS machines [edit: So I think it's not unlikely they'd consider easy Android support out of the box]. The more stuff you have like that, the more Steam OS will be seen as the easy "it just works" option, while Windows will be seen as the option for nerds who like to do things the hard way.

    My best guess for Android compatibility is to make it easier for developers to port their Quest games/apps to SteamVR. The unfortunate reality right now is that the VR market is very fractured, and valve could greatly improve things for PCVR users with a proton-like compatibility layer.

    Quest Games is why Deckard would have some kind of Android support since the Quest is running a specialized version of Android. It being supported on the Steam Deck itself is kind of worthless since you know its a full blown Linux PC, but for Deckard the VR headset having some kind of Quest game support even if they would have to be side loaded as well as PC gaming via Proton Compatibility would be a legit game changer for the VR Space

    Well, just a forewarning for anyone planning on getting the KH collection, aside from KH3, mostly all the games are bugged to hell and back for anyone using 10 or 20 series GeForce, Polaris or RDNA3 Radeon, possibly even Arc gpus for strange reasons, possibly due to them trying to address fixes for 30 and 40 series, while optimizing for the Steam Deck. This is of course on the Windows side for now, but I don't know what the Linux side will look like for anyone not on 30, 40, or 6k series gpus at this time in terms of stability for the games. Hopefully Square is able to rush to fix everything, but for now, I think only Steam Deck owners and some select gpu series users will be spared of the crap the rest of us (including a 7k series owner like myself) have to deal with as far as KH 1 through DDD goes.

    Supporting android apps adds as you said plenty new software options. Personally I am fan of flatpaks which are supported on steam deck, but being objective the way flatpaks manage permissions is confusing for non technical people. It would be an easy way to add software options to deck users that are not tech savvy and do not want to deal with the headaches of dealing with flatpaks

    A well configured Waydroid for ARM Android emulation with Steam selling Android games such as PvZ 2 and others will make Linux gaming better than any other platform, and the Steam Deck the best console (it is already the best console in handheld format). PS: I think that an official, or licensed, Steam Controller 2 with pads must be built. Why don't you and other Deck / Linux KZreadrs launch a kickstarter campaign to see what would be the interest in such a device?. Ps2: Mouse cursor size with proton and wayland (at 4k x3) is very small and cannot be changed, also Steam client need to go to Big Screen and back to take the configuration (4k without x3 until that is done), reported long ago, but it seems it is low priority.
