A Reddit user shared screenshots of his conversation with Steam support; This suggests a company representative discussed with him whether it was safe to inhale vapor from the device.
The humorously expressed support response emphasizes that the device is generally safe to use, but encourages avoiding direct inhalation of exhaust fumes.
Since the launch of the Steam Deck in February 2022, owners have noticed that the exhaust fumes from the portable gaming console have an unusually pleasant smell.
This led some players to jokingly “smell” the exhaust fumes, which quickly became a viral meme.
The response from Valve support emphasizes that inhaling the gases is not recommended for health reasons, despite the memes. Owners are requested to refrain from this behavior.
