Like others mentioned, it’s totally possible to use another launcher. I have Cyberpunk on GOG for example and a couple games installed I bought on Epic.

But, the Deck absolutely 100% works the way Valve intended: I find myself preferring to purchase games on Steam because it’s easy, even if it’s a couple bucks more or I have to wait for the Steam sale. It’s just a better experience.

My Steam account is possibly most oldest active account anyways and I have always preferred it, but if you primarily use another store it might be a bit annoying to have to do all the manual steps for the majority of your games

You just made me feel old. I think my Steam account is even older than my Gmail account. It has accompanied me through several phases of my life... I first created it using a very silly username, later I grew up and became extremely ashamed of it. I remember frequently checking if it was already possible to change the username, but they never allowed it. And now that I'm older I just laugh about it as a memory of my teen years.
