So they are considering a new steam deck when there are people that still haven't received their original orders?

At least we can take solace in knowing there will never be a Steam Deck 3.

 

I wonder if Valve will pull a Framework and not just make the Steam Deck 2 motherboard a drop-in replacement for the Steam Deck, but also make it available separately as a service part?
