It seems it will be easier to be Steam Machine Verified when compared with Steam Deck Verified, according to a Valve designer speaking with Game Developer.
I’m on board with devs making text more readable for the Steam Deck, but the Steam Machine would have much larger screens where this wouldn’t really be a problem for it.
Eh, kinda? The screens will be much bigger, but the viewing distance will also be greater. To a degree it balances out. It’s not like a PC where you get a bigger screen with the same close viewing distance. In a standard living room, you might be 6-10 ft (2-3m) from the TV.
