Haha maybe you are confusing the launch date with the extremely long wait to receive!

For me it feels like it launched _YEARS_ ago. (I've been really busy in the last couple years - I don’t nearly have the amount of time I want for gaming unfortunately. 😢)

I hope you all get yours soon! Have been playing Tunic, Wind Waker HD and Celeste mods on it! Its beautiful :33.

On the contrary I feel like its 2-3 years old

From any other megacorp those would be empty words, Valve has always been fairly pro consumer. I may have my gripes with them, but the good outweighs the bad.

@@protocetid It's not about the words or who said it. It's that a company that did it, said it. If EA said something similar, I would be singing the same tune.

i respect valve more than any other tech company cause not that many companies out there respect their customers like valve does, and for them to still blow the competition out of the water is proof that every other tech company is just run by greedy assholes

Pretty sure they're not profiting much if at all on the devices themselves. They are from the store though.

It is so refreshing in the current climate where everything seems to be so anti-consumer. Valve are the best, and Gaben truly is a god.

Bucher Law and Wolfire Games would like to disagree. I don't understand why people think Valve is suddenly an antitrust villain, there are worse storefront deals in the gaming industry. My favourite quote being from Gabe himself, when DotA literally extended a limited event for the whole community because the man couldn't get the skins.

Valve has a peer-pressure model, you work on any projects you want but people rate you positive or negative for the projects you take on, people at Valve wants to work on TF2 but their fellow co-workers rate them negative if they are not joining bigger more important projects, its a work model that really only has both positive and negative sides to it.

Next they should transform the gaming and smartphone landscape simultaneously with a Steam Phone powered by an AMD or Intel chip.

@@meric12131415 I have both my PC and consoles, but I still use my deck especially when traveling and in bed lol.

@@protocetid that would be pretty dope actually. I feel like the smartphone gaming scene is being underutilized.

@@grimaper It would likely sport the typical Linux smartphone advantages like repairability, the ability to run any software you want (in both app and OS form), a replaceable battery and updates forever. Baffles me gamers aren’t clamoring for a Steam Phone, although there a couple explanations that appear valid at face value. Number 1, the kind of processors AMD and Intel make (called x86) run much hotter and are hungrier for energy than the processors in regular mobile devices (ARM). Thus a mobile x86 chip would be weaker than an ARM one in the same price bracket, making a chip weaker is the easiest way to lower it’s energy consumption and temperature. This doesn’t really matter because most smartphones don’t really have anything that use all of their performance, ARM has gotten so powerful it’s overkill for general phone use. Trading some performance for the ability to use PC software (which would be adapted for a mobile interface) would be so worth it. And it would function like a desktop when you need it to.
