Probably won’t be cheaper than a PC. Otherwise people are just going to buy it just for cheap compute.

    As long as it's not sold at a loss, that's not a problem for Valve.
    And if they want to they can sell it like they did initially with the Steam Deck, one purchase per Steam account.

    I've heard this so many times. I don't think so. It's still going to be more expensive than a cheap corporate desktop that can't play games, and it's not going to be that good for compute compared to powerful datacenter hardware. I'm assuming some YouTube said this and everyone is repeating it, but I don't think it makes sense. The comparison is always made the the PS3, but it's a very different time and hardware is dramatically different.
