Can you clarify what you mean by this?

Are you saying… $10b annually in harware sales?

Using the $1128 price for the 512GB SM + Controller, that’d be uh… ~8.8m units sold annually.

That’s totally absurd, imo.

That’s roughly a quarter of 2025’s PS5 (any variant) console sales numbers.

Valve would have to pivot into basically only/primarily being a hw manufacturer, they’d have to … somewhere between 10x and 100x the amount of money/capital they’re currently using to source components, do assembly and then ship things physically.

They do not have that much money.

Valve has like a total of less than 500 employees, their entire business culture is built around having a very small number of incredibly competent and often multi-domain skilled employees.

They’d have to radically shift the entire fundamental structure of what the company is, to do something like that.

… but perhaps I misunderstand what you mean?
