Cd drives have been usb powered for decades now, people use them on the deck, why wouldn’t they use it on VR? It’s a feature they essentially chose to remove from one device to the next.

Do you walk around while playing a game on the steam deck?

I use it to transfer cd ISOs to it while I’m not actively gaming.

Why on earth would you assume it would be used for active gaming? Hardly any games run off the cd anyways, it installs to the HD since it loads in a fraction of the time.
