I kinda wanna hate that but, while pricy, it...it would be good, wouldn't it? It's Valve after all. It wouldn't be astounding. But it would be stable, reliable, accessible...

All dreams as of now but...

But it would be stable, reliable, accessible...

And have a 50% chance to be abandoned/unsupported in 2 years. In the real world they have zero reasons to release a standalone phone, (huge) maybe they could make a tablet for remote play.

mobile gaming is one the biggest segments of the gaming industry based on revenue. depending on how scummy their intentions are, a GabePhone could be a very good business move

They would then have to compete with google's storefront, which is wild to think about. Unless they pull an EGS and promise a much better revenue split, but even then it's gonna be ridiculously hard

If its a Linux phone then wouldn't it just be SteamOS? So they wouldn't be bothering with trying to enter Android since it'd be Linux, so trying to start a whole new market on Android and convincing people to release Android games to Steam to have games to play wouldn't be an issue. Maybe frameworks running arm is a test for that.

And I'd imagine the phone would be something like the Sony Xperia Play in terms of design.

Valve abandoning their 30% greedy cut? Never!

last year i plugged in my steam link just to see if it still works and it had an update

[–] real_squids@sopuli.xyz 1 points 4 days ago

What’s the point? The entire point of a phone would be compatibility with apps. You can already run something nice and repairable and relatively open if you go over the fact that many features won’t work with it, like some banking apps, NFC payments…
