    Once again Valve proves they actually understand what people want; a relatively cheap and effective system that lets people play the games they want to play

      I think the big difference is that they seem to be optimizing for customer satisfaction where others are not.

      My favorite example I use often is how the Steam Deck comes with a case. It’s free and there’s not even an option to not get it. They know you need one, they include it. The Switch doesn’t come with a case. They know you need one but they don’t care. You’ll buy one if you want it bad enough and that’s more revenue.

      It’s just a different type of optimization.
