    Your point is we can expect PS5 games to run soon on the steam deck.

    Their point is that we cannot expect ps5 games to run at any playable framerate, maybe ever, due to serious hardware hurdles.

    Not AAA games, any games. You disagree on a key point there, and they were just trying to explain why they disagree with you.

      Did you read the comment I’m responding to? Not everyone has the same argument, as there are different people responding with different. Some say it will not happen with any game, others say it will only happen with trivial games. And I explain why that may happen sooner than you think.

      We’re strictly talking about games that are more-or-less trivial for a PS5 to run.

      and

      With a Steam Deck? Good luck running anything more intensive than an indie title at full speed.

      So clearly it is not about any games.

        I suppose an aside, why would you emulate those games when they are available on PC anyway?

          Is this a general question why someone would want to emulate the games? It’s mostly about preservation. In example I also play the original Super Nintendo games on a good emulator of my choice, rather than the official versions from Steam, because I like that more. From the Steam Decks perspective, I’m more interested into the technical perspective that this is even possible. Even if we just play small indie games on it. It would mean we don’t need monstrous PCs after all, because developers try to make it run on small handhelds.
