Summary:
I would like to request an option to disable the "Log out of other device" prompt when launching a game on the Steam Deck.

Details:
My children are young and not yet able to read. When they attempt to launch a game on their Steam Deck, they receive a prompt asking if they want to log out of the game on another device. Since they cannot read, they simply press "A" to proceed, which logs out the game on the other device. This often results in them coming to me for help to log back in on the laptop.

Proposed Solution:
Introduce a setting within the Steam Deck interface that allows users to disable the "Log out of other device" prompt. This would prevent accidental logouts from other devices and improve the gaming experience for families with young children.

Benefits:

  • Prevents accidental logouts from other devices.
  • Reduces frustration for young children who cannot read the prompt.
  • Provides parents with better control over gaming sessions on multiple devices.
