Valve Embracing Competition: Why ROG Ally Support Matters Now

Valve Embracing Competition: Why ROG Ally Support Matters Now Okay, let me get into this! So Valve, right behind Steam and the awesome Steam Deck, has dropped some news. You know those whispers? Like "Wait, they're *actually* doing it?" Yeah – they've confirmed they're working on supporting ROG Ally.

It's that super cool Asus handheld device everyone seems to be falling for lately (maybe even more than just Steam Deck fans?), and Valve getting behind the scenes involved means something interesting. Their whole thing started with dreaming up a world where *any* PC could essentially become a portable gaming powerhouse – remember those early talks about Steam Machines? Now, they're not only building their own version via the Steam Deck but apparently, they want competition.

This feels like Valve is acknowledging that others can play too. It's almost like they winked at Asus and said, "Hey there! Let's keep pushing boundaries." They aren't just saying 'no' to other platforms; instead, it’s a nod towards bringing more options into the ecosystem. Which means, who knew? You could be holding devices from different makers running Valve's software down the line.

And honestly, while everyone is buzzing about Steam Deck Pro support potentially coming soon – maybe even before official launch! – this development shows Valve isn't scared off by other players in the handheld scene. It adds another layer to their ambition of making portable gaming versatile and dynamic.
