  They sell games to people with SteamDecks, I guess. My comment was probably a bit blunt TBF. I think Valve is transformative in the gaming space. They’re not doing it for free though, and I think it helps to remember that.

    Proton actually is free, I use it without a Steam Deck. I mean yeah they build a handheld console and they are allowed to sell it I guess? They don’t sell SteamOS and they don’t sell Proton, I could use both without paying them a dime right now. Legally. They also upstream to Wine … Actually for free?
