Havent read this yet but I bet Steam Deck helped with this a ton
The Japanese love small multifunctional gadgets so it makes perfect sense.
Maybe that’ll give a good reason for game companies to start developing games natively for Linux.
I wasn’t open to it before but I’d love a steam machine. It’d use it on my other monitor like I do with my macmini.
I have a mini PC running linux on my living room, which I use like a more powerful steam deck. There are distros designed to boot into gamescope modes of that’s your thin, so. “steam machine” experience is definitely doable.
Valve should look at bringing back real steam machines because the software is finally there to do it well thanks to Proton.
The actual answer is Vtuber.
Vtuber playing a lot of PC-only games or modding acene, making people get inteoduced to PC gaming.
There is an actual industry analyst, but I forgot the source.
Maybe Japanese studios will finally make good pc ports! >!one can dream!<
Even western game Devs are guilty of making terrible pc ports, so I wouldn’t hold your breath too much.
Japan actually have a lot of independent PC game store, like DLsite and DMM.
Vtuber also popularize new generation to PC gaming, especially for competitive and social games. Not to forget, so many PC-only games sold in Japan store exclusive due to culturak differences.
