I don't understand why Valve would allow this. Wouldn't this be a direct competitor to the Steam Deck, even if it at a lower price point?
@Gork @mr_MADAFAKA The deck and all these handhelds just drive game sales on Steam, which is where Valve makes all it's money... Competition between handhelds doesn't bother them!
And that’s Valve's ultimate motive, to have as many handhelds(and PCs) to use SteamOS and distance themselves from Windows Microsoft.
