Disney Shows Its Steam Deck Animatronic Controller In New Video

Ah, sorry, I'm just explaining the joke then, woops!

(cough maybe trying to trigger any console fanboys cough)

Yeah, that was the point of my joke. I was just having a giggle at someone referring to it as a console. The truth in the jest - I do stand by "Steam Deck _is_ a PC proper." I certainly wouldn't have bought mine if it was anything less.

Consoles are usually just weird, cheap, locked down, underpowered pcs, that only play certain brands/formats of games, and have unique cases, lol.

It basically means 'thing that is (usually) for your living room what plays video games and such'.

Nothing in Gaben's quotes says loss. The author is making assumptions based on the "aggressive" and "painful" comments.

They also outright said the Steam Machine isn't sold at a loss.

Where are you reading that?

Original steamdeck was sold at loss atleast that is what ive read back then. Not sure about oled and today after ram-agedon

Valve has said multiple times they don't sell their hardware at a loss. Razor thin margins, but not a loss.

Steamdecks are consols [sic]

Disney got them at a discounted price?

Its companies like this, purchasing the subsidized Deck, with no revenue circling back to Valve, that contributed to them needing to charge full price for their Machine & Frame, raise prices on the Deck.
