Until Dawn will also require a PSN Account to play on Steam. I think we already got the message, every playstation game will now require a PSN account

It's optional.
Ah, yes, probably.
No surprise there.
More like false accusations.
This is gold. Imma remember this one fondly.
I’m not accusing Valve of anything, other than presenting the likely scenario of how using monthly hardware and software survey in conjunction with data bought from Google went towards the development of the Steam Deck. If you cannot accept that as a plausibility that’s your problem not mine. The proof you keep getting your gaiters in a twist over could only come from corporate espionage or Valve themselves releasing to the public.
Picking my statement apart did you no favors in trying to prove your point. Honestly don’t know what your point is other than you’re mad I’m not on my knees gargling daddy Gabe’s balls as hard.
There is no point to prove. You just made shit up and try to defend it by "but it's a possibility". It's pretty hard to argue against a made up scenario of Google buying data from Valve to fund Steam Deck.

Your words in bold to highlight how hard it is for you to believe that Valve bought data from Google to create the Steam Deck.
it's not about probability it's that you just made it up.
Valve has better, more probable sources of income, like for example, Steam?, they take a cut out of every sale of course they're swimming in enough money to fund whatever project they desire.
And I know that Google is willing to buy any data, but what for would it need PC specs? What marketable insight about a person does it provide? "ah this guy has a high end graphics card, he uh, well he could be a graphic artist but this is data from steam so he's uh probably a gamer ig"
I understand your instinct to doubt every company out there, it's a good instinct, companies are not your friends after all, but man, at least try to make your claims against those companies plausible not just possible.
Yeah my claim is that Valve used the data from their monthly survey and anything that was not willingly provided from users was bought from Google to R&D the Steam Deck. If that isn’t a probable or plausible scenario to you then you simply don’t understand why marketing data is useful.
I never said anything about selling out to Google.
