Rather uninteresting article with a clickbait title. The author is the one who lacks passion for games and it has nothing to do with the Deck.

The penultimate sentence:

“ Meanwhile the Steam Deck is getting more use than any other console I’ve owned, reminding me how much I love video games “

Followed by:

“ Will Starfield put a big smile on my face like Sega’s Emergency Call Ambulance does? I doubt it. “

The Deck isn’t killing their passion for games, their lack of awareness of what indie and non-AAA titles have been released is at fault.

Lazy journalism. Hopefully I’ve saved you a click.

And people wonder so many people never read the article. Usually clickbait with an overly long article and an ad-ridden page — I’d rather just read the headline and the expert commentary in the comments.

I habitually started skimming the first paragraphs of many articles because for SEO or AI reasons a lot of them tend to recount generic stuff about the subject matter with many key words first and only get to the meat in the bottom. And not even in the way where you need to know some stuff to understand what the actual news is about, it's often just trivia and worse, something that doesn't even has that much to do with the matter, just something that will improve SEO. E.g. refering to the currently popular game or movie.
