Don’t worry – they’ll offer renting or rent-to-own options soon.
Okay - go tell Valve to subsidize it for marketing purposes then.
not much to abuse
Then I’m misunderstanding this part. The PS3 compute cluster incident commented below is what came to mind.
But in the current climate I image that if the Steam machine was heavily subsidized that there would be a subset of people abusing that by doing something like purchasing, harvesting, and immediately reselling its parts.
Huh – what do you think I said or why I said it?
Consoles make an attempt to be a locked ecosystem - which is why they can subsidize it - because they know if you buy it your buying their games for it.
Duh - people are shitty and would abuse it.
What are they gonna do – buy Twitter again?
