> a million steam deck
this is still just a rumor at this stage as there is no source apart from one guy saying it in a KDE conference. If Valve had indeed shipped more than a million they'd be screaming about it on the rooftops.
- ThrowawayTestr 4y agoWhy would they? Private companies don't need to brag.
- enneff 4y agoAlso, on track record, Valve have been very quiet in general about the huge piles of money they have raked in over the last 20 years.
- ThatMedicIsASpy 4y agoWhile also investing heavily in hard and software BUT never really expanding their teams by thousands of new people. Steam link, steam controllers, steam machines, vr headsets, steam deck inhome streaming, remote play together, steam workshop, family sharing, mobile apps
- themacguffinman 4y agoYes they do if they want to build excitement and interest in their niche platform. Money isn't the only reason to brag, attention is critical to a platform's success and Valve's Linux-based platform is starting from behind.
- ThrowawayTestr 4y ago>starting from behind They have 20 years of brand history, what are you talking about?
- themacguffinman 4y agoI'm talking about their Linux platform's position among gamers and game developers where usage & support is scarce, why would I be talking about their brand?
