The best part of this video is how confused some Steam Deck buyers are when Valve co-founder and president Gabe Newell shows up at their house to deliver the company\u2019s recently released handheld gaming device.<\/p>\n

That said, several of the Steam Deck buyers featured in the video below recognize Newell when he shows up at the doorstep to drop off their Steam Deck. However, there are instances where other people living in the house accept the order, leading to even more confusion. This makes sense because while Newell is a famous video game developer, he is only well-known amongst a specific group of people.<\/p>\n

Amusingly, Newell also seems a little embarrassed that he signed some of these Steam Decks and even says, \u201cHopefully, people won\u2019t get mad that I\u2019m signing them.\u201d The entire video is extremely awkward in a very endearing way, but it\u2019s also a great promotional video for the Steam Deck given its focus on collaborating with owners to improve the device.<\/p>\n

In an interview with PC Gamer<\/a><\/em>, Newell said that Valve has no plans to build a game subscription service and that it wants to find a way to bring Microsoft\u2019s Xbox Game Pass platform to its new handheld console<\/a>. On another Steam Deck-related note, Elden Ring<\/em> runs surprisingly well<\/a> on the powerful handheld following an upcoming update that\u2019s currently available in beta.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ll have more on the Steam Deck in the coming days, including a review of the portable.<\/p>\n
