You just wonder what the would would be like without Marketing. Imagine we only had facts/specs of equipment in advertising, and all these people maliciously using your own psychology against you, had productive jobs where they contribute more resources/services to the world. Steam is one of the good companies, but when I see this much effort go into marketing, it just makes me think of waste. There is poverty, envir…
Somewhat off-topic, but I've been feeling really burned by my steam deck purchase lately. When it came out, I gave Valve the benefit of the doubt there was some good reason why they weren't providing an OLED option, and bought the highest tier even though money is tight. I figured their commitment to opening the PC platform and quality hardware earned them my trust on that. Now what am I supposed to do? Sell my model…
... Eh?

It is much more likely that the type of leadership that splurges on marketing would, if forced to put the money somewhere else, direct it to something else that directly serves their own personal needs. So if C-suit can't boost their personal brand by ordering expensive marketing, they'll more likely to spend on ostentatious offices or expensive company cars rather that headcount in in-house testing departments or getting technical writers to work on documentation.

Not to mention the waste of resources, manufacturing a bunch of computers to be used for a short period of time to create an ad to sell the same computer, before being relegated to the corner of an office to gather dust.
> We figured we would need about 100 Steam Decks to pull this off. And as luck would have it, we had that many old OLED prototypes laying around the office.

Now the OLED is out, they're discontinuing the LCD models. Good thing I got two then! Feeling pretty vindicated about this.
It's all a matter of perspective. Be happy you snagged one of the rare, discontinued SKU ;)
Did Valve re-render the "Meet the Spy" video for that gag in the article? Could you... pretty please do an official HD remastering of it? :)
We built orb. Video shows building orb... there is no great reveal at the end no crescendo.
We built orb and that's it.
Love it.
