It means that they can spend money on “hobby projects” like employing gamedev teams that don’t actually ship anything and prototype until everybody leaves with boreout or their other hardware endeavours, the Deck itself isn’t even that profitable.

And if the deck is already unprofitable, then might they be unwilling to incur further losses on it if significant fundamentals changed?

I’m not upset. I was answering that Valve hasn’t huge capital because they hoard the money.

What is Capitol if it isn’t money? You are literally saying they don’t have money because they are hoarding money.
