    What does Valve actually need: sell a x86 SoC PC for extra-extra cheap… barely capable to run 720p60fpd high quality, and extremely well optimized, videogames such as Resident Evil4 Remake and latest Doom, bundle the SoC with those games to the point it may look as you’re just buying regular bundled games but the PC to run it comes for free.

    IE: 140€ to get Resident Evil Remake 2,3 and 4 for +the SoC: You just need to add the disk space (MictoSD/SSD) to download&run OS+games.

      Dude, you can’t even build a Raspberry Pi 5 based Retropie for that price. And the most you could run is emulated Gamecube games

      Does it come with a battery that’s not rechargeable and only lasts for exactly one playthrough of the game after which you throw the whole thing in the trash?
