Their paradigm of computing is still from the 90s or something, when desktops ruled. Completely ignoring that most people moved to smartphones or laptops or tablets. They'd have a good excuse if desktop AAA games were still good, but that isn't even true anymore either.
Because porting it is cheap as frick and it allows them to sell it to people who already own a switch but not a steam deck.
You might as well ask why Bethesda ports Skyrim for the 20th time.
I want to know why oblivion, fallout 3 and NV haven't been ported yet. It's easy money. Microsoft has an army of code macacos that could port it while Bethesda works on their autism projects
anon this was done by the same company that originally ported portal to the nvidia shield which has the same gpu architecture as the switch
they arent testing anything new here.
Deck is for PCgays double dipping so most already have it for testing. Consolegays haven't had an actual valve game since CSGO so re releasing portal is a good gauge for interest in rereleasing more scraps on consoles and namely switch.
At most, they will do a Half Life collection because HL2 already got ported by Nvidia but stuff like Alyx is going to be sticking on PC for the foreseeable future. I really doubt it will come to PSVR2 on launch.
As opposed to PCgays getting milked by gpu companies, only to play pozzed AAA dogshit. At least tendies don't delude themselves that they need a lot of power to find a good game.
Why would you need to cope this much? PC is doing fine and getting better getting games from everywhere including third party games that would burn the Switch down if it ever tried to run them. There is simply no comparison to a platform that can play games like MHR that was on the Switch to games like Elden Ring and then getting games like Spiderman later this year you would never find on the Switch.
free money for an old game
Because the Switch has sold over 100m units, it's a pretty safe bet to say that a couple million of those haven't played Portal before.
but those games can run on decade old toasters and the pc versions are cheap as dirt
So can a lot of indie games that release on the Switch, yet they still sell well there, so there's clearly an audience for that.
Right, but do 5 year olds own PCs?
pretty sure their parents do
Not really. Normal people generally don't have PCs anymore. Shit, they barely even have laptops that aren't notebooks anymore.
because a lot of switch owners do not play games on their pcs.
any more stupid questions?
Why are switch users moronic?
japs don't play pc games
>he doesn't know
Most people don't even have a PC anymore. For the love of God, please touch grass.
Most people dont have switches either with that logic
Did your mother drop you on your head?

Nobody wants to look at Oblivion-era uncanny valley potato faces.
nah TESgays will take anything while they wait for VI you are kidding yourself
Deckgays wouldn't play it otherwise
It's to recoup the costs of selling the Deck at a loss. Nintendies are literally funding their own demise.
An apology for the whipping valve does to the switch
cause they can, and with it still not running at a fluid 60 (even with Nvidia porting it), it's a good comparison for deck
to test new porting tools
t. knower

Why was the Steam Deck made when the switch and desktop pcs exist?
The better question is why half life 1 and 2 aren't included.
WHERE THE FRICK IS TF2 FOR SWITCH???
>have Source running on Xbox / PS2 / 360 / PS3
>need to justify porting it to ARM
>make a Switch port
there were several source android ports on the nvidia shield
Because the Steam Deck is not exactly pushing big hardware numbers.
Because normalgays won’t buy a Deck for $400 and wait a year to receive it just to play old Portal games when they can just get it on Switch instead.
It's actually making quite fair amount of buzz on nipland. Helps that port is good.
Switch is a significantly larger platform
Most people buying steam decks already have both portal games on steam
Because people who have a Switch won't be buying a Steam Deck and nobody with a functional PC is moronic enough to buy a gimped gaming laptop.
It was #1 on the eShop earlier this morning so it was a good idea.

to milk money out of Nintendies. it's money just sitting there.

>playing 20 year old games at 540p25fps
lol maybe Valve just felt like losing some money
Designing a system to compete with a company and then releasing your game on their platform is a special kind of flex
