Today was a big day for gamers as Valve just introduced three products: the Steam Controller, the Steam Machine, and the Steam Frame. When you add this alongside the Steam Deck, I think it's safe to say that Valve is about to win the next console generation.

    A lot of people are talking about loss-leading

    I don't think it could be a loss-leader for Valve. If the price/performance is good enough, what's stopping companies from buying a lot to use as work stations? No company is going to buy Steam Decks for office software, but they might buy a Steam Machine.

    If that happens and every Steam Machine is actually sold at a loss then it'd be a big problem for Valve

    unless there's a distro designed for office use on the Steam Machine

    It's a PC. You can just put any Linux distro or even Windows on it. Some people even did that with the Steam Deck when it released
