It's not a standard xbox controller. There's a gyro with several ways to handle it, including flick, which does take a little time to get used to, but works really well as a mouse substitution for such an environment. Some people are just that good with a thumbstick as well and can easily enjoy casual gamemodes.
Steam Deck is a capable beast, even for a game like Counter-Strike.
The same was said about the steam controller, but in the end it was still shit compared to a mouse. It's just not feasible in a game as competitive as csgo.
It's not for everyone, but calling it shit just because it doesn't work easily for your liking is
a bit much since it's still usable to some. I beat plethora of shooters on gyro and it wasn't that much harder than playing on mouse once I got used to it.
At its core, CS is a competitive shooter. Having casual maps and modes is fun but the game should not cater to this play mode. If valve tries to make it casual friendly they will disappoint the competitive players and will not be able to compete with other casual shooters.
Basically I don't want then to cater too much to the casual scene
This isn't what's happening, though? What are you on about?
Valve caters more to the casual scene than most companies do by allowing custom servers and an in game custom server browser.
How much more casual can it get?
Being on a console, on the couch.
CSGO was made entirely for the purpose of being a console game, no body played it on console so they abandoned it
You are perfectly capable of setting on the couch at any time. The computer does not stop this. You are actively making the decision to not sit on a couch, as an adult you're allowed to do this.
