    Nothing concrete, but their stated goal is to play any pc game on it, similar to what steam did with the deck. That was enough to scare off sony

      Yeah, if anything, this is Valve’s fault. They upturned the playing field and proved a new path.

        Well if they hadn’t paved the roads then the bank robbers couldn’t have driven away so really it’s the road pavers fault.

          “Fault” isn’t an attack here. No need for the weird analogy. I just think the Steam Deck is the inciting incident to a whole chain of events in the gaming industry.

            You could use a different word that’s not an attack if you don’t want to attack. Like “reason” or “catalyst” or “schmoople”.

            Don’t get bent just because people took your words at face value rather than what you actually meant.

                  What attitude do I have? I’m into VR, I love Valve. I’m excited for the Steam Frame. I’ve met people who work there.

                  It was just a bad word choice. And it was unreasonable for me to make a comment on the analogy that was used to respond to my poor word choice.
