Tl;Dr: Author prefers pick up and play games and they’re also nostalgic for when those games were more common. The steam deck is a good pick up and play console and they’re sad there’s not more pick up and play games.

Aren't there, though? I'm an old gamer too, and I agree there were a lot more mainstream pick-up-and-play games, but if anything this seems like another pick-up-and-play golden age. There are so many indie titles that fit the bill, not to mention a handful of popular games like BTD6.

Not to mention games back then were ungodly expensive. I remember getting a game (1) for Christmas that was a present for my two brothers and me combined.

The Steam Deck's suspend also turns a lot of games that would need long sessions on desktop into perfectly suitable to be played in 5 minute bursts.
