Twenty years ago this week, Valve changed the face of PC gaming with the launch of the Steam game download service. A little over a year and a half ago, the company did it again with the release of the Steam Deck , a Linux-based handheld console that is, at least in theory, compatible with the Steam library. (In practice, Valve is still in the process of verifying which games run well on the Steam Deck by default, which need manual tweaks, and which don't work at all.) To commemorate that 20-year anniversary, Valve announced a week-long sale on Thursday: Direct sales of the Steam Deck from now through September 21 will be, depending on the model, 10% to 20% off.
