Steam Deck OLED is available again but the price is much higher due to memory shortages... a 2018 CPU architecture and 2021 GPU limited to 15W. That's not ~€920 of goodies.

If you already have reputation on Steam, it can make your next game free from Steam Direct Fee. Never heard of it before!

The funny one, but I have to add context: both of them are odd in a way,
- Gabe invested into AI and with known info it seems he's aiming for eternal digital life. In the meantime, his yachts are not just for swag, he finance marine research. He is super-social, gets along with almost everyone he meets, and therefor his aura seems much friendlier. He's still very much into making as much profit as possible, just wiser.
- Tim hates yachts and was AI-hater for some time. Then last summer he invested billions into AI (when it was too late to invest). He also owns huge sanctuaries, adores nature, and do hikes every week. He is not social, not a fan of crowded places. Every public speech he makes looks like he's in pain. But he wasted half of his fortune to fight Google and Apple (and won) to make them lower the market fee. But he lost against Steam and keep missing the point of it.

Steam Machines starts at $1049/€1039 and is barely able to run high-end games. Basically, no RT, mostly 1080p — not what a living room gamer would prefer in mid 2026. Some games are deliberately targeting RT only on PC and cutting yourself out is a sad choice.

Stupid tech takes: Valve said Linus that they can't subsidize the device in any way since they can't guarantee that users will stay on Steam OS and/or buy games...
