Valve wants the Steam Deck to be the starting point for a whole new handheld PC ecosystem. Speaking to IGN Gabe Newell has stated that the relatively low price point for the Deck was “painful” but “critical”, but he also goes on to state his expectations that it will be the jumping off point for establishing a product category that benefits Valve in the long term.
That means he hopes other PC manufacturers are going to get on board the Deck train, and release their own versions of the handheld PC, likely hoping they’re running the bespoke mobile version of SteamOS Valve has created for it.
