Comment on Me when Valve releases a phone

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 and then wouldn’t the rest of the mobile market be competing against games on Steam.
    
    And I’d imagine the phone would be something like the Sony Xperia Play in terms of design. So not be some touch screen dependent mobile games.
