I support Valve for creating these things which I value and appreciate. Which keeps me buying on Steam instead of Gog first as GP is endorsing. If Gog makes a handheld or any other type of hardware that helps push the industry forward, I will definitely reconsider.
I generally agree, but I’m not gonna continue buying on steam just because they’re developing new tech - I happily buy games on steam because of the features steam provides.
That said, DRM-free games is something steam does not and probably will not provide - it’s a niche GOG is comfortable with, so many people who value freedom on software will choose it as their first platform of choice.
In that sense, the hardware is completely unrelated - it does nothing towards the goal of DRM-free games, and in case of the index, locks more games behind a platform.
