    Yeah, it’s weird they all ship with windows instead of SteamOS. It’s not like Valve would’ve said no to anyone trying to use it, they’ve been trying to find partners for ages.

      Yeah but they’re already spending so much on hardware just to edge the Deck on performance alone. They’re ignoring all the other stuff that makes the Deck great which is decent performance but fantastic flexibility.

      Honestly no idea why Valve isn’t partnering with these companies or why these companies (presumably) aren’t reaching out to Valve.

      They work together. Asus and Lenovo sell hardware. Steam maintains software and sells games. Consumers get a sick handheld. Everyone wins.

      Maybe Valve just wants to have a limited hardware target for game devs.
