it’s not about probability it’s that you just made it up.
Valve has better, more probable sources of income, like for example, Steam?, they take a cut out of every sale of course they’re swimming in enough money to fund whatever project they desire.
And I know that Google is willing to buy any data, but what for would it need PC specs? What marketable insight about a person does it provide? “ah this guy has a high end graphics card, he uh, well he could be a graphic artist but this is data from steam so he’s uh probably a gamer ig”
I understand your instinct to doubt every company out there, it’s a good instinct, companies are not your friends after all, but man, at least try to make your claims against those companies plausible not just possible.
Yeah my claim is that Valve used the data from their monthly survey and anything that was not willingly provided from users was bought from Google to R&D the Steam Deck. If that isn’t a probable or plausible scenario to you then you simply don’t understand why marketing data is useful.
I never said anything about selling out to Google.
