I'm assuming Steam's shotgun is the Steam Machine price? Not shotgun-worthy at all. They'll make money regardless of how it does.

They were very obviously "shot" by AI and memory manufacturers.
OP is not a very good detective. They'd walk up on a scene and determine that five shots to the back of the head must have been suicide.
The Steam Machine is actually a better choice in a digital-only console landscape. Only a PC is better than it
At this rate, the PS6 would be a streaming device (like the Playstation Portal) and the PS7 would be an online virtual machine.
It IS a PC
Ps6 will be able to run steamlite® but you will have to purchase each title on the PlayStation store and steam to be able to play it and will cost 900 dollars
I mean it's closer to a pellet gun because afaik the Steam machine isn't subsidized by game sales unlike some consoles, still engineering and setting up manufacturing still probably cost a lot so it's probably still a gun just not a shotgun.
I look at the Steam Machine being a proof of concept device leading to third party development.
There is now a lot of interest in computer markers to make their own machine and Valve is more than happy if they do it at no cost to Valve.

And so will all the others, maybe except Ubisoft.
I think this is about losing fans/customers, not necessarily losing money. Which is still a stretch with Steam. The Machine isn't the best product, but it's not harming anyone.
My guess would be Steam removing physical gift cards?

Is that other joycon up it's butt?
Yes, they have HD vibrations you know
Let me buy the same game 5 times, damnit!
"I'll stop making them when you stop buying them."
You joke, but Japanese Twitter is full of corpo simps.
I may be ignorant af here but...I think culturally, they aren't nearly as cynical as we are about the corporate hellscape, at least not publicly.
The attitude seems to be that companies, especially Nintendo, are a home-country brand, seen as successful and good at business, and therefore should be respected for it.
This is the likely the same attitude that leads to their abysmal work culture that prizes literally working yourself to death, or at least as close to it as you can.
I think the death grip is loosening though, primarily driven by younger generations seeing through the bullshit.
What did valve do?
I prefer the version that has OpenAI and Anthropic shooting Valve.

What did Steam do?
Probably mad about GabeCube price.
I can't really blame em for that. I blame Sam Altman and the army of Clankers that spawned from it
