    Seems like a lot of these handhelds are rushed and lacking R&D. Makes the steam deck seem like an even better option

      R&D is very expensive. I have no idea what the margins on these devices are, but I imagine it’s a tough market.

        Valve can go into the negative selling Decks, something that their competitors can’t reasonably do because they will get money from Steam store sales made on the Deck. I for one went from buying 3-4 games a year to like a dozen because it’s been so convenient.
