I love you, I truly do. You created a device that was just objectively better and had to have cost more money to make but didnt raise the price a single penny, in fact you even lowered the price. I don’t think anyone understands how unheard of that is in the tech and gaming industry and it’s obviously because they know we’re gonna spend twice as much on games for the deck, but valve still kept the prices the same. I cannot wait to see what you have in store for this devices next iteration but I can say, please feel free to take your time with it and understand that as long as you continue this respect and care for your fan base we will always support and contribute to your company, thank you from gamers everywhere(except Australia, hopefully you can work on that lol) Thank you Valve! Cant wait for my oled steam deck to come in!
This is the one company that the whole, “Corporations aren’t your friend” Schtick doesn’t entirely apply to. I mean, they don’t care about you specifically, but gamers as a whole, they definitely care. Valve is our friend, in a world of EAs, Nintendos, and Activisions, Valve is our friend.
Well, to be fair, they have a monopoly on the PC gaming space and pissing people off isn’t something they want to risk when they don’t have to. That being said, you should never treat a company as a friend.
Yeah, there should be a degree of separation on that account, they aren’t your friend. But you, as a “gamer” should know that Valve is a friend.
