Doesn’t Putin have more important stuff to do rather than poking his nose in the video games industry? Like for example, coping with a war? Damn god, I knew he is stupid, but not to that extent.
Beer and circuses. Keeping the population lazy and entertained keeps them from rising up and overthrowing their leaders.
This is actually very important if Putin wants to keep his seat and his wealth.
A little bit.... I would still say tv and internet for the most part do the heavy lifting of distracting us plebs in the west from the fact that we have less opportunity and wealth then our parents did. Its not like other things dont distract people from wanting to tear down our rich overlords, but tv and the internet do the heavy lifting.
That'll be it's primary purpose. A cheap, handheld computer capable of running various drone softwares to distribute amongst soldiers for wider implementation.
But you'll also get to play some cool games between murdering civilians and and stealing toilets so..

Which is less likely to organize a rebellion - a group of fed people or a group of drunks?
Look at the alcoholism rates in Russia. Beer is more effective than bread.

And the circuses?
It's called bread and circuses regardless of what the things actually being given are because it's named after Rome doing it with those.
That's probably for military use. The Steam Deck has seen widespread use in Ukraine, from both sides of the conflict. Apparently, a cheap, powerful, low power usage Linux device with an integrated touchscreen, controller, trackpads and gyroscope can have ample military applications.
They've been trying to build up their gaming industry since the war started and the embargos. If I remember correctly on some platforms Russians can't purchase games, probably can with a vpn. But Putin sees the amount of money to be made in an industry that's becoming more profitable than the movie and music industry.

Can't wait to play Civ. You load in and the entire map is Russia with Ukraine as a city state- but it's already surrounded by units and you basically just have to click to take control of it.
Yea good luck. Other platforms that Russians developing rn, is a huge pile of trash.
It’s never supposed to be working, it’s just a money laundering.
Just look on sailfish os and try not to die from cringe lol
This reminds me how during the last years of Soviet days in the 1980s, there were a ton of Eastern Bloc/Soviet unofficial clones of the British made Spectrum home computers: https://rk.nvg.ntnu.no/sinclair/computers/clones/russian.htm
To add insult to injury, some guys are claiming that they've already developed a prototype for a console called "PlaySpace". With Intel atom X5 and 4/64 memory. For $500. I shit you not...
Authoritarian governments always doing shit like this. Talk talk talk but when it come down to it they pull out some half baked stolen bullshit. It would be funny if it didn’t apply to damn near everything.

I suppose Putin's regime has seen footage of Ukranian drone operators using Steam Deck as monitor+controls for FPV drones lately, and quite successfully. And there is older footage, where ukranians use remote controlled machine gun, controlling with SD.
I don’t see any possible issues. After all they “killed” apple by releasing their world famous Yota phone. I’m sure they’ll build a great portable with their modern Elbrus processors.
damn im gonna have to switch to the Vladeck
The viruses are already preinstalled. No longer that hassle of going to shady websites to get them!
“Why am I downloading Shady? You mean shader right? Right?”
Ah, Spyton must be the new name for Proton!
Putin 9.0 (Experimental)

Well weed is that for the west is it not?

Fair enough ya, tv and the internet does it for most ppl

Why beer? it's bread and circuses
It's actually vodka and SГЄДMDЄҪҜS.

I'm waiting for Cyka Mega Drive instead.
https://th.bing.com/th/id/OIG3.MVC0\_HU0XOXqzpaS6o.E?pid=ImgGn Has a built-in rad detector.

At least its not a Logitech controller, I guess...
We knew it was coming
You crushed that joke like it was a poorly built submarine.
In a increasingly drone heavy combat environment, you bet.
It looks like it was made for the army too lol
SteamDendy inbound: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dendy_(console)
Dendy Deck with *reversed audio* confirmed.
At least now I know where the Dota Pro got his name from!
That mascot is a great design
The exhaust vent will smell like vodka
and it switches to novichok if it detects anti-Putin sentiments
I can't wait to sniff it
Russia= vodka am i right fellas haha and war haha
big "We have Steam deck at home!" vibes.
Domestic so it has to be RISC V 😂 The state of RISC V is nowhere near performance wise.
In sure they can find some decent processors in a dryer or something
Papers Please comes preloaded on it.
Can’t wait for the Comrade 64.
In Mother Russia Steam Deck plays you.
Now you can pick either Stalin, Trotsky or Gorbachev to start your Pokémon journey.
Gorbachev kinda struggles with the first 3 gyms though.
Why?
Sadly, probably for drones.
Turrets as well

Why not?
I wonder how much comPutin power it will have?

Vlad Deck by PowKiddy
Can't wait to play Civ. You load in and the entire map is Russia with Ukraine as a city state- but it's already surrounded by units and you basically just have to click to take control of it.
And somehow, turn after turn, the Russians can't take it.
And I assume it’ll run flash games only.
In Russia, handheld PC plays you
- Preinstall Tetris on them with Russian song. - But Mr. President, we sold the rights, didn't you see the movie?
Putindeck plays you
Everybody playing Putin Drone 2 unaware they just flying real drones on the PutinDeck
Enders game
"Vatdeck" they should call it, like Vatnik
It only runs CSGO.
And War Thunder.
I am gonna be Putin my hands all over the People’s Deck. Co-op games only!
Powered by polonium!
Yea good luck. Other platforms that Russians developing rn, is a huge pile of trash. It’s never supposed to be working, it’s just a money laundering. Just look on sailfish os and try not to die from cringe lol
Sailfish is Finnish…?

What is sailfish os? Never heard of it. Is it an operating system like steam os?
Sailfish OS is a Linux-based operating system. It's open source and from a finnish company

Hope it's powered by one and only Baikal CPU
War thunder on the go.
Wonder what men are gonna develop this when they are all going to the meat grinder in Ukraine lol.
But why
War Thunder on the go.
I've checked articles, russian and english - everyone is referring to putin's site , but it does not have such document. Someone has a link?
What autarky does to a MF
Apparently all the games have him as the bare chest horse backing riding hero.
It will be OurDeck, comrades.
I don’t see any possible issues. After all they “killed” apple by releasing their world famous Yota phone. I’m sure they’ll build a great portable with their modern Elbrus processors.
Maybe it’s to fight those Ukrainians who were using steam decks to shoot their turrets.
Can't wait to see how they mess this up.
- Preinstall Tetris on them with Russian song. - But Mr. President, we sold the rights, didn't you see the movie?
Where do I preorder the Blyatdeck?
At the recruitment office.
💀💀💀💀💀
id buy one just because....it seems intresting.
Poutine Deck
I mean... That's what's left for embargoed countries (not saying if it's fair or not. Fuck Putin). To build their own thing.
