Next up please make a Steam Box. I just want a PS5/XSX equivalent with SteamOS.

And because I know people will say build a PC: No, I want a pre build smallish box with kinda certified hardware so I don’t have to worry about compatibility, cooling, drivers and all that stuff.

You have it - it’s the Steam Deck.

Fair enough. You can just dock it to a tv, like switch.

But a console like box without the constraints the Deck has (thermals, power usage, size, weight, needing a screen) would still be a valid product offering.

I personally don’t like mobile gaming, but I do like a console experience.
