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!
The reason why Deck OLED isn’t more expensive is for 2 reasons. First of all they make money on software, Steam, they most likely seen steam growth with the release of Deck. I know I bought more games on Steam since the Deck. 2nd of all the Deck APU was shrunk making it less expensive to produce, the APU is also a generation old, you have stronger ones like Z1 Extreme now. Releasing a refresh that’s superior is nothing new we had this with DS Lite, GBA SP etc. it’s just Nintendo basically got greedy with Switch OLED. If Deck OLED was way more powerful and they charge the same price is agree. £480 for something that’s a generational old isnt exactly a bargain when you have Asus and Lenovo offering things like detachable controls,.VRR 1080p, more power for £700 and they don’t make money on software.
