      You can have nice things though. Even if you didn’t get one in the lottery you can buy an equivalent machine for a similar price.

      Seriously, people complain about high prices and evil companies, but we do it to ourselves by being unable to resist these bad deals

      Nearly $3000 on a Steam Machine, constant price increases from Netflix with tightening restrictions too, etc

            I dont get that part but i het the demand. People really want to escape from this corporate hellhole and valve being one of the least shittiest tech companies it makes sense why the demand is so high. I dont get why you would pay 3k to get a chance to get a console with the performance of a 800€ machine.
