Steam Deck: there are those who are obsessed with the smell of the fans

Steam Deck



Among all the videogame news of 2022, one of the most talked about is definitely Steam Deck. Valve's portable hardware has been able to intrigue many fans, so much so that in no time at all it has become one of the best-selling products on Steam for several weeks in a row. Now that portable hardware is in the hands of many gamers, a series of details, curiosities and real unexpected oddities about the experience offered by this platform emerge.




We fully realize that this story is getting stranger with each paragraph, but it's all true, apart from the detail about Gabe Newell's powers (sadly). According to a user report on Reddit, the smell that flares up from the Steam Deck vents is strong and long-lasting and seems to be vaguely attributable to the scent of burnt plastic. Furthermore, according to the direct testimony of this user, it seems that the smell remains in the air even when you are not playing and the hardware is turned off.
