For plenty of Valve’s customers, that’s irrelevant, as they’ll never use it in a room that doesn’t have a powerful PC in it, but it does mean that it needs more hardware inside, including RAM, when hardware, especially RAM is particularly expensive.

It low-key feels like there’s an audience of gamers that think Valve is trying to gouge them or something. As if they don’t know how much work valve company has put in to making games as affordable as possible.
Wait until they learn how much resource Valve put into Waydroid/Lepton, FEX and Proton, and then just gave away to the world completely gratis, as open source. In a world where our hardware has always been subsidized by whatever platform company was trying to wall us into the garden, we need to have honest and frank conversations about supply chain dynamics.
That often isn’t possible with iPad folks, and I’m beginning to think my Steam account is older than some of the people flinging you downvotes out here.
