Well there’s the monthly hardware and software survey and whatever users didn’t willingly provide was probably bought from Google. I mean I wish I could find a source but it doesn’t take a genius to figure out how companies who want to sell you things would go about selling you things. I could if you ask nicely, give you a basic summary of how marketing data is used by entities seeking profit to R&D products and services.
We’re all voicing opinions. I chose mine and don’t begrudge yours.

It’s optional.
whatever users didn’t willingly provide was probably bought from Google.
Ah, yes, probably.
I mean I wish I could find a source
No surprise there.

More like false accusations.

This is gold. Imma remember this one fondly.
I’m not accusing Valve of anything, other than presenting the likely scenario of how using monthly hardware and software survey in conjunction with data bought from Google went towards the development of the Steam Deck. If you cannot accept that as a plausibility that’s your problem not mine. The proof you keep getting your gaiters in a twist over could only come from corporate espionage or Valve themselves releasing to the public.
Picking my statement apart did you no favors in trying to prove your point. Honestly don’t know what your point is other than you’re mad I’m not on my knees gargling daddy Gabe’s balls as hard.

There is no point to prove. You just made shit up and try to defend it by “but it’s a possibility”. It’s pretty hard to argue against a made up scenario of Google buying data from Valve to fund Steam Deck.
