Not sure what you’re getting at, here. Are you expecting Steam to sell these at a loss (or even just break-even) out of the goodness of their hearts or something?
And then have scalpers resell at a tidy profit because they’re selling the hardware for less than the current market rates, for that matter…
I’m getting at the fact that nobody from steam ever said it was originally priced at 750, but “gamers” are saying so because “Gab is a good billionaire”. Whatever he does, he will always get his ass kissed because he runs a “convenient” store front.
Steam is a disgusting business that that made hundred of millions by promothing gambling for kids, has sub 300 employees while making record profits year after year. Literately one of the most profitable company in the world, that gets 30% on each fucking game sold (blablabla industry standard bullshit, epic takes 12% btw).
So yeah, if you part of the people that defends that type of business, you’re just another one of capitalism’s little bitch is what I’m getting at.
“Gabe is a good billionaire” is a possible reason to make that claim. The other is to remind people to be mad at the datacentres gobbling up all the hardware. The latter seems to be how everyone is interpreting it based on the other comment chains under this post.
