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!
I don’t think it’s fair to say they lowered the price because they love you guys although it’s great marketing. Unlike the console market has had the casuals by the balls due to pure simplicity, valve does not have that, atleast not in the same sense. Valve did this because they want to strengthen their position in the pc gaming market and outside of making their platform stronger little by little, the best moves they can do now is make huge lateral innovations. They will make their money back just through pc game sales. That being said I still love valve but I also want to still keep them on arms length as they are still a corporation. Never forget when they wanted mods to cost money and wanted 25%
