Makes sense! And it does track with my own observations of new indie games being more likely to at least court the Deck platform. Do you have an article with those numbers? I’d like to share it with a small developer that might be interested in this knowledge.
My interpretation of that is that the Deck users were more likely than non-Deck users to pay full price for the game at launch. Considering that deck users only make up 0.6% of players based on Valve’s hardware survey, it would seem like Deck owners buy far more games than the average user.

The game was “The Pale Beyond”
Here was them saying 10% of sales were on Deck.
Later on, after the game had been out awhile and had some sales, the percentage of deck players dropped to a still respectable 5%.

Thanks! I’ll have to find a way to “pitch” this but that’s interesting.
