I disagree. They already had thin margins, they started it themselves. Then prices went up and they sold at a loss. The recent increase was because they couldn’t take more of a bath. This excludes the tens of millions of dollars they have had to pump in you Linux.
I have no doubt until I see data otherwise they are breaking even at best.
You clearly haven’t watched the other billionaires run at losses for years.
Steam is very happy to lose money on consoles to keep their 30% cut and monopoly.
The deck and this thing will be garbage for couch play. You ain’t wrong though.
Or they are taking a loss on every deck, controller, sold and we don’t even have a price on the desktop.
Valve is taking a red bloody bath and slowing the bleeding.
“Behind”
100% what this actually means is valve is only making them in limited to supply to lengthening the time they take losses.
Valve ain’t making money on decks, they ain’t going to make money on the controllers, and they are going to take a bloody red bath on the machines.
Y’all need to read between the lines. It’s a controller. It ain’t hard to make.
Resolution and on screen keyboard scaling work very poorly is the main culprit. It’s highly inconsistent as well as the deck just not having enough GPU for 1080 screens. I’ve given up using it for gaming on the TV.
