    Has any info been leaked about the profit margin Steam Decks are for Valve?

    I get it’s a loss leader to increase Steam software purchases, but would be neat to know how much of any they earn per deck.

      Well, seems like it’s very unlikely that they lose money the more Decks they sell, I’d expect the 64gb model to go out at pretty much their cost per device.

      The Markup between the 512 model and the 64gb model is much higher than any OEM cost I would expect, so there’s probably a little margin in there.
