Its companies like this, purchasing the subsizied Deck, with no revenue circling back to Steam, that contributed to Steam needing to charge full price for their Machine & Frame, raise prices on the Deck.

Valve has said multiple times they don’t sell their hardware at a loss. Razor thin margins, but not a loss.

Consoles are usually just weird, cheap, locked down, underpowered pcs, that only play certain brands/formats of games, and have unique cases, lol.
It basically means ‘thing that is (usually) for your living room what plays video games and such’.
