A lot of older PC games can run just fine on modern phone hardware. I’d buy a SteamOS version of a phone that has some modular or built-in set of buttons and analog sticks. I don’t know how the app ecosystem would work for sensitive things like banking but it’s mostly a minor issue for me.
I already have a smartphone, no intention of buying another one.
This is what is known as a “hypothetical question”, the idea is that your don’t answer based on your actual situation, but based on a hypothetical one.
So, now imagine instead that a wizard teleported your current phone into the plane of fire, destroying it, and you have a gift voucher that can only be spent on phones that’s “one free phone” and there’s a Steam Phone in the shop. Would you want it? Would you buy it?
My actual situation is surely shared by most users here. We don’t need more phones.
Even if it would offer privacy?
But why would it?
Because GNU/Linux
Edit: GNU/Linux, not kernel Linux
Android is Linux, and that hasn’t stopped Google…
