Came here to say this. They earned their success. Hopefully their current values remain.

I really like Valve. They have done a few things that really annoyed me (usually owing to their refusal to sell stuff outside of the US)… But you can’t argue with their excellent support of the community and loyalty to their customer base.

I'm seriously considering giving up my gaming desktop in a year or two and switch to a Steam Deck instead of building a new battlestation. I'll likely keep my desk and get a docking station for it.

The fact that it's open and let me run games outside of Steam (I have many games bought on GOG) is a major selling point. Plus almost all of the apps I rely on are available in Flatpak format, which should work great when I'm not gaming.

I'd advise waiting for the next incremental release, OLED seems like a tempting upgrade but the next one will likely be more powerful and and also have even better battery life.

Of course If you do want to I'd recommend putting the original SSD back in it before selling so you can put your 1TB SSD in the new OLED and then you can just get the lowest OLED capacity.

Also the Matte finish screen is a waste, best to get a normal one and put a screen protector on it (you'll come to regret not using one if you don't since it can scratch or crack easier without one) normal ones work better with a screen protector because their glass is smooth.

I think the headline is ambiguously worded. My interpretation is that, after they announced the OLED version, they also confirmed that Steam Deck sales to date amount to "multiple millions." I highly doubt they've sold multiple millions since the announcement.
