Why is the Steam Deck So Cheap?
Gotta love the strategy! Valve likely wants to create a strong user base quickly. With more Steam Decks sold, they can dominate the market and keep users buying games on their platform.

Valve probably sells the Steam Deck at a lower price to get as many into gamers' hands as possible, hoping they'll spend more on games through Steam. It's like when printers are cheap but the ink costs a fortune!
Valve is all about the long game. They know that making hardware accessible means more money from game sales in the future.
Because Valve wants to hook us in and then we get our wallets drained buying games. Classic move!
