Steam Desk

[𝑲]

Will Valve release a product I can sit at and has all the modern features like fan, heater, cupholder, freezer, headphone hanger, VR stand, deck desk dock, VESA mount, rumble, and Big Picture mode running on the surface? How does Gabe game?

Gabe is a fictional character used for marketing.

Hopefully, that would be sensational tbh.

On a Steam Deck on a yacht surrounded by thick beautiful scantily clad women giving each other champagne showers. So I hear, anyway.

ain't nobody in the world playing on a steam deck when on a yacht with scantily clad women all around, somethings just don't happen.

You are right, OLED peak brightness isn't good under the Caribbean sun.

And yet there are photos of Gabe himself on a yacht playing a Steam Deck. I'm sure the ladies & champers were off camera.

The 512 GB model screen would handle it no problem

Edit: Also you don't have to be in the Caribbean to be on a yacht, could have been in San Diego or France or something.

Never going to happen.

Do you know why?

Because Valve have largely shown how they want to work, and they've tiptoed into tech first with their Steam boxes, then VR, then the Steam decks. All of these are something they go into with tech partners and are relatively small to ship.

Making desks essentially that house PC components is something incredibly niche, massive to ship and something that would be incredibly risky to get into.

You're not wrong but still it would be really cool to have a custom Steam Desk like OP describes. Obviously it would be outrageously expensive but since there are companies out there that will build you a custom gamer chamber with everything OP describes & more it's really not that farfetched an idea.

Here's the thing - the existence of such a thing is a valid idea, but all I'm saying is it's never going to be sold as it's not viable in any way. Not even using thord parties.

Here's what might work - if Valve decided to spend a small amount of time either creating or curating others' designs then putting the plans up online for anyone to make.

The problem here is that anyone can get access to CAD, routers, plasma cutters and so on, or go to somewhere in their locale to get the work done. That's why it'd never be viable.

I bet if you Googled, you could find a suitable design already that'd serve your purpose just to prove the point.
