This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Ok GabeN junior

Also, steam deck and steam machines aren't sold at a loss

The steam deck was sold at a loss

The steam machine doesn't have a price yet

Got a source for that? Best I can find are "implications", like Gaben saying the deck's pricing is "very aggresive" and that the parts used sum up to roughly 1k dollars

You really need to learn how to learn about shit without people having to spoon feed you like a baby.

Newell said, “Price point was secondary and painful. But that was pretty clearly a critical aspect to it.”

The implication is that Valve would be selling the Steam Deck at a loss.

I mention "best I can find are implications", I ask for a source and you paste the article bit that literally states "the implication "
