    True, but they make their money via game sales.
    Other OEMs make their money via hardware sales.
    Valve has a much bigger incentive in keeping their firmware supported than AYANEO or ASUS…

      Yes but thinking a piece of hardware will receive support for eternity is naive. That’s all I‘m saying.

        The entire point was that you don’t have to rely on vendor support. With proprietary consoles, unless someone hacks it, you won’t get any support when the vendor drops support.
