I’m pretty sure they likely did what they did with the steam LCD, which was order an absolutely insane amount of units that they had stock for years. The semi-custom AMD chip they’re using likely needed a minimum order of millions of units.

I’ve used fedora for the past 5 years and run GrapheneOS. I’m familiar with open software dude

This is a custom small form factor PC with many of its components being user replaceable. The GPU and CPU are soldered, which is unfortunate, but it is still significantly more upgradable and repairable than any other console that has existed. So what the hell are you on about?

And Valve already has a partnership with iFixit to offer replacement parts for their handheld gaming device, the Steam Deck, and they intended to continue that partnership with their new hardware products.

I think you’re just dumb and don’t know what you’re talking about.

SteamOS is a full Linux build, it’s just a different distro like Fedora, Ubuntu, mint, etc, etc

Which I feel like were are at the beginning of, steam and proton are catalyzing the decade of linux right now.

Too many cults to keep track of, they are all brainrot

“In trouble” in this case is bad press. OP was commenting on prosecution given other stuff that’s illegal in Germany. Or did I miss someone getting arrested for the poster?

There’s some very talented and compassionate developers that have been with Valve for a long time that I assume will get past the reigns when he decides to step down or dies, and I’m hopeful that they will be as awesome as Gabe.

I constantly see people talking about how Valve will go to shit when Gabe dies, but I simply don’t think that’s true. Gabe is not the only amazing human at that company.
