tbh that was a cool airforce moment. Idk about current day, I doubt anyone would buy a shit ton of steam machines just to make a hpc cluster. BUT it would be cool af :]

100000% it would be crazy. If I remember correctly, the xbox one and ps4 weren’t really sold as loss leaders, that or they were priced closer to their manufacturing cost.

I have been thinking, I don’t think it really matters to them what the consumer does with their machine. I mean, at the end of the day, you’re still gonna be buying steam games simply for the service.

tbh I didn’t know there was a term for this lol. No matter what price they decide on, I do hope to pick one up.

I reeeeaaaally hope they do something like how microsoft and playstation purposefully sell their consoles at a loss ( I think it was 360 and ps3 ). One can dream.
