In last year’s survey, 66% of developers reported working on games for PC, while this year’s number is significantly higher at 80%. In comparison, 38% of developers said they were working to put their game on PlayStation while 34% said they were developing for Xbox.
Now, GDC clarifies that “Steam Deck” was not specifically listed as a platform option in the survey. However, when answering which platforms they were developing for, 44% of respondents who chose “Other” did mention “the Steam Deck as a platform they’re interested in,” which potentially shows a significant focus on Valve’s handheld.
I’m not. I’m more hoping for Nintendo to get a wakeup call that improving customer satisfaction and giving them actual value, rather than clawing and squeezing and litigating every dollar possible from their freaking fans, is actually a viable business strategy.
