Not to point this at you but I am getting a bit tired of hearing people parrot the point that If they're low cost then corps will buy them in droves.
Most companies will set up a deal with other companies to buy bulk at low prices, I highly doubt valve will offer that considering the restrictions they put on buying the steam deck to avoid scalpers.
I'd like to hope the Gabe cube be priced at a reasonable consumer viable price (+ ram tax) with the same 1 per account restriction that they had on the deck
Blame LTT for that. They're the ones that put out the initial idea that corporations might buy them thus valve cannot sell them at a loss.
When I first heard them say that I initially thought "yeah that makes sense". But after a while of thinking about it, no it doesn't make any sense at all, I have no idea why he said that.
Linus (LTT Linus, not Torvalds) is such a fucking idiot, around everything around linux, that he functions as an industry plant for Microsoft.
Really he's been pretty critical of Microsoft lately. I don't really have a problem with him personally, he definitely doesn't live in the real world though.
