And have a 50% chance to be abandoned/unsupported in 2 years. In the real world they have zero reasons to release a standalone phone, (huge) maybe they could make a tablet for remote play.
mobile gaming is one the biggest segments of the gaming industry based on revenue. depending on how scummy their intentions are, a GabePhone could be a very good business move
They would then have to compete with google’s storefront, which is wild to think about. Unless they pull an EGS and promise a much better revenue split, but even then it’s gonna be ridiculously hard
If its a Linux phone then wouldn’t it just be SteamOS? So they wouldn’t be bothering with trying to enter Android since it’d be Linux, so trying to start a whole new market on Android and convincing people to release Android games to Steam to have games to play wouldn’t be an issue. Maybe frameworks running arm is a test for that.
And I’d imagine the phone would be something like the Sony Xperia Play in terms of design.

Valve abandoning their 30% greedy cut? Never!
