Valve publishes files to allow players to 3D print their own Steam Deck shells: gadgets

I don’t think this is exactly fair. If you bought a dishwasher at a loss they would have to make up that loss through data collection, adversiting, etc, and any of those things would piss off most customers (because those things dont benefit them)

valve is selling this device to us at a loss, but we are happy to give steam our data, click their ads, buy digital and physical luxury items on their store and all the rest because all these things benefit us in often explicit and tangible ways (despite having many of the downsides a creepy smart data exfiltrating dishwasher would have)
