One of the Steam Deck’s primary advantages over more powerful handheld gaming PCs is its operating system, which is designed to mimic a game console interface within a Linux PC environment. Valve has long planned to bring the OS to other devices, but a recent Steam Deck software update includes the first mention of a rival handheld.
And Valve because it doesn’t have investors that yell “More PROFIT RIGHT NOW”, they can play in the long game, which other companies cannot do, because of investor pressure. Investor pressure for quick profits is what causes companies to cannibalize themselves and their future success.
