Given the ridiculously low prices of all Steam Deck models, I imagine that the main revenue for Valve is mainly from increased game sales rather than profit from their hardware. If that’s the case, it makes sense to see Steam OS on as many devices as possible, even if they compete directly with the Steam Deck.
That being said, I’m just excited by any decision that puts Linux in front of more users.
I’m hoping to start. Although I still don’t really post, I comment way more on Lemmy/Mastodon than when I used Reddit, because I want the platforms to grow.
