I would say that both Nvidia and Valve, I think we're both interested in making [GeForce Now on Steam Deck] better.
To me, this is like saying that HP would want their printers to use non HP cartridges.... The printers and the steam deck are not making much money by themselves, the money is made by selling the games or cartridges or subscription
As a user it would be nice to have it, but saying that it is something that Valve would obviously want invest in it, does not make sense to me
