Surely you can't be serious.
I am, because I think every body have to get paid. And if you are considering corpo should give us money you don't understand corpo well enough, even the nicest corpo is still a corpo. Can't trust any company which isn't a cooperative, I seen corpo change leader and destroy their strong points often enough . And another guy made a good argument that it would be considering building a monopoly. Game seller which build a machine cheaper than any conccurence which can easily run it's store.
Well Sony sold the PS5 at a loss, so maybe we should stop their bullshit first. I just think Steam should play the game but draw the line at the cost instead of a loss.
https://cyberpost.co/which-consoles-were-loss-leaders/ Not only Sony that a common occurrence in the console world. I am not aware of it happening before on PC Without monopoly lawsuits. (To be precise I mean that a game/software front selling hardware at loss to trap users)
