I have to say, some of these may be scam too.
Pretty sure these are the occasional individuals, not large scale bot nets.
Welp... time to put SteamyOS on my old lenovo.
Rich people ruin fucking everything man.
Hmm maybe I should start selling SteamOS usb sticks with auto install script.
Awesome, people are actually buying this on EBay. Soon we will be seeing news of how many did not get a steam machine at 3x the price. The next couple of month will be pretty entertaining.
I mean it's not out yet. The raffle for who can buy one hasn't started. This is just like scammers selling a PS6.
