I mean, I don’t know valve’s margins but strategically they could sell steam decks at a loss and still come out ahead.
100%
Before I bought a steam deck I hadn't used steam in years. Now I've bought like 20 games... Its a great way to get people on steam who otherwise wouldnt be interested.
I believe some youtubers mentioned (maybe Tyler McVicker or some other in the space) that they are razor sharp margins and border on being profitable just like a console manufacturer.
