It was still small enough to be relevant but yes. The level of integration Valve can do with the steam box probably actually lowers the total cost for them a bit versus just comparing against individual component cost, so it buys them a bit of margin but probably not a ton in today's market.

It was also missing the ability to wake from the controller, I wonder if we will see that become a feature on other gaming Linux distros? I'm not super clear on why that isn't already possible.

Idk man. The thing they built looked gigantic and wouldn’t fit in a tv console at all.
