It’s the ol’ “Valve can’t count to three” meme
That’s how I knew Jack Reacher was a Valve employee

Don’t forget Steamdeck: Source
I mean…of course they have a roadmap. They had a roadmap well before the first unit. Their work and investment in Proton wasn’t just for desktop Linux users.
There are a lot products from steam that got discontinued like the big predecesor, the steam machine. I think a commitment like that is something good.
If you check out The Final Hours of Half-Life: Alyx, you can see a timeline of all the stuff Valve worked on since they started with hardware. Work on Proton started basically immediately after Steam Machines launched, in response to its library problem. So in a way, this is still that same commitment.
True, but they got discontinued because they weren’t selling, long after the market itself had given up on the product. It’s not exactly like Sega where they came up with a bunch of platforms only to cancel them after a few years.
Steam Machines were more of a collaborative product, not something that Valve really put effort or resources into like Steam Deck. That said, I think a console-PC sold and sponsored primarily by Valve could work.
After that, I think the initial Steam Machines project (which was imo intelligent) could have some value.
Valve also sold a bunch of accessories, including a rather innovative controller.
Worldwide shipping when?
(probably never)
To be fair selling (hardware) worldwide is much more than just enabling shipping to every country. Even some very established companies can’t do it. Sure you’ll have some crappy companies offering to just ship you the product and then everything else is on you but that’s not the right way to do it.

I can personally imagine a better screen, speakers, controls, ergonomics, cooling, another USB C port, slimmer and lighter, etc.
I know that most of these things are already good, but they can always be improved. We’ve already seen other handheld PCs do some things better so I imagine Valve can improve as well
Good. I was really worried about the steam deck. On paper it seemed too good to be true, and Valves track record with hardware is abysmal.
I ended up getting one and its honestly one of my best gaming purchases. Pretty tempted to grab an OLEDThey still sell the index, they pivoted the link into being sofwltware you can install on anything, and the controller got killed by patents trolls. Steam machines weren’t made by valve so I can’t pin that one on them entirely.
What about Deckard though?

The Index weights more than the Quest…
