    lol, ‘Rival’ I’m sure Valve cares much more about the 30% take of Steam games sold on other handhelds than they do about selling more Steam Decks

      Steam Machines showed them they needed to enforce a quality floor that other manufacturers would need to exceed.

      Yes, I’m still mad Steam Machines didn’t take off.

        A Steam Deck is a Steam Machine by another name. This is that vision realized.

          Yeah, and I think they will support non-handheld devices for using the SteamOS branding. I think we’ll end up seeing a MiniPC using one of AMDs APUs at some point soon that has official support.
