    Yes, I did. I also didn't read between the lines and take that to mean that they're not working on it, investing in it, etc. It just means that we can't predict the future, and what makes sense now might not make sense in a few years when the technology does exist. The Outlook section was the author's conjecture of what could come to pass, but he can't predict the future either.

    “We are working on Steam Deck 2,” Aldehayyat chimed in. “There is going to be a successor.”

    Not one of my responses was intended to be hostile or patronizing, but tone can be hard to convey via text. I'm sorry if you took it that way. I was merely pointing out that you arrived at a conclusion that they didn't state definitively in the article we both read.
