Comment on Valve says iFixit will keep selling Steam Deck batteries after all. Valve won’t be sunsetting the battery yet.

  Plot twist: Valve was never in the battery manufacturing business, they were always third-party batteries just sometimes embedded in devices for first party sale.

      That would be directly from the supplier I guess?

        I’ve always assumed 2nd party is just when the 1st party sells you a 3rd party’s goods/services.

        Kinda like subcontracted?

        I used to get my old Oneplus phones repairs scheduled through the Oneplus website, but I was just given a shipping label for a different company in texas. I consider that 2nd party🤷‍♂️
