I was happy for a split second thinking it was a new steam deck they're releasing. :/
This is even better, because they dont have to make a new one. Which would cause a mass exodus because every person that already have one will want to buy a new one.
From a business standpoint, wouldn't that be better for valve? Wouldn't they make more money?
yes, in the short term. but improving a new console instead of the old one would be worse for us.
so no.
I see what you mean. Makes sense.
