Rules:
IMO the Steam Deck is one of those machines that takes the "sure, we don't recommend it, but we'll let you do it" approach. You can run AAA games, and some even run surprisingly well, but in general I find that I would really much rather play AAA games on my PC than on my Steam Deck. It's really best for indies, AA, and emulation, where the convenience of the Deck over a PC significantly offsets the comparatively weaker performance
