Comment on It looks like iFixit won't be getting any more Steam Deck LCD spare parts

  valve echoed off all walls that this would be a product they’d support for a great deal of time. they preached that the OLED getting released was the same and both products would be supported.

  the idea was to not have a product that needed to be changed out for a new one but to maintain products sold for years and years to come.

  granted that was before the AI losers started butchering the parts market, but its still a huge disappointment.

    How long should Valve provide replacement batteries for the original Steam Deck?

      i got mine around 2022 so longer than 4 years? valve was all over the reparability angle.

      if you’re going to be all about reparability and longevity of a product, I’d say a decade isn’t unreasonable. especially considering they’d pushed so hard against talks of “newer” model releases. and instead opted for the “this product should be fine for years and years to come”. especially in any media or marketing they had.

      why are you pushing so hard against a company being held responsible for their own promises?
