      The thing is that it’s not totally baseless. The Steam Frame is already halfway there. Most of its components are repurposed phone parts. They’re only missing a 5g modem. And a “Small Screen” interface for Steam.

      Give them five to ten years and they might actually pull it off.

        …. do they really want to go into that market?

        Seems mobile gaming is more prominent in Asian countries and they kind of have their own phones.

          Yeah, that remains to be seen. But they already have one mobile product and with the Frame that will soon be one and a half. And they definitely know the shady business practices that dominate mobile gaming, though I hope they manage to get away from that.
