  • When the Steam Deck was still just an idea, Valve says some staff were like, "I just want that for me" and "the point wasn't even to make a product out of it"

  • Wow, thanks so much for your insightful input.

  • Why would I continue explaining anything when you haven't even understood the very basic explanation I've already given?

  • It seems that you can only think of value in terms of making a profit.

    Wrong. I do all kinds of things with no intention of monetary profit. Those things do not involve my business.

  • You'll never innovate if you never put time into projects simply for practice, or better still, enjoyment.

    That's just pure non-sense.

  • I don't know how you read that from what I said

    I didn't. I read that from the OP.

    Do you think that devs and engineers pay for prototypes themselves?

    If it's intended for no reason other than personal consumption? Abso-fucking-lutely? Does your company pay you to fuck around with your hobbies at home?

    Whatever bud, enjoy being convinced you're right so hard that you get mad at other people I guess.

    Please point out what I said that led you to believe I was "mad" at anyone. Other than the other people lobbing personal insults at me.

    I guess the end result of... the steam deck and multiple people at Valve describing that's how it works are just not real because how they came to exist at all don't make sense to you.

    What they did is real. What they said is not.

  • Because making money was always the intention. That's my point.

  • Yeah, I mean they are development kits after all. They're not really intended for consumers, they're intended to build software that supports specific hardware components.

  • I dunno where you're getting my "attitude" from. I am not a manager and have not given any opinions on how management should work.

  • this is how I know you've never created anything

    So I suppose you spend millions funding engineers to create products as personal toys with no intention of selling any of them?

  • It... it goes into the company.

    ...what? How...does fucking around researching and developing products for their team members benefit the company?

  • do you think all of those people were 100% sure that each of their designs would work?

    I'm sure 0% of them did but 100% of them were researching to find products to sell.

  • discouraging votes for Harris necessarily helps Trump.

    Please point out on the doll where I discouraged anyone voting.

    What you're actually saying is that no one is allowed to criticize your favorite politicians. Which is totally unsurprising but disappointing nonetheless. This is the kind of whataboutism that has fueled our fucked up political system for centuries.

  • Sure, with the intention of finding a product to sell. But the whole point of this article is that they never intended to sell it:

  • Sure, but anything that "The point wasn’t even to make a product out of it" is 100% definitely a waste of resources. So either they're intentionally throwing money in the garbage or the intent absolutely was to make a product out of it...
