Steam Deck Email Live Reaction! – The TouchArcade Show #533

We kick off this week’s show with Eli chastising me for my advice on where to order the Miyoo Mini, which is taking its sweet time getting to him. I of course ordered mine from Papa Bezos and got it right away! We then launch into a lengthy discussion on one of the popular topics on social media this week, the erosion of mobile gaming and whether Apple and Google are fully at fault or not. Also, was there really a “Golden Age" of mobile gaming? We of course also hit on some of the big mobile gaming stories of the week, and I also receive my “your Steam Deck is ready to ship" email live while recording. Stoked! Due to a technical error there is no Secret Playdate Chat this week, so we’ll double up on that next week.

Don’t forget to shoot us emails with any questions, feedback, or anything else relevant or irrelevant to podcast@toucharcade.com. We read ’em all, and love decoding messages written entirely in emoji.
