  So? PCs have other uses outside gaming, you know?

    If you’re playing video games on PC, did you not read it?

      Yes, but my whole point was that PCs have other uses, so Valve selling a PC at a loss can’t recover the money with games because people won’t necessarily play games on that machine. Saying “if you’re playing games” to that point is like someone explaining to you why seatbelts are needed in cars and you replying with “if you never crash they’re useless”, like OF COURSE that if we enter your hypothetical example everything works, the whole point is about the disaster that would happen if that wasn’t the case.

        I find it highly unlikely that those purchasing a steam machine aren’t doing so with gaming in mind

  @IzzyJ @Nibodhika

  I personally think, that if your are gaming on linux you should value valve alot for how much money they have put into the linux ecosystem and it's not bad to buy at their store. But for real there is alot of gaming happing outside of steam (including things which won't make it to steam).

    I do absolutely celebrate the contributions they’ve made, Proton beats the shit out of every alternative and it’s not even close. Black hole vs mouse levels of curbstomp

    I also think people with bad values should suffer for those values. I am an ideologue
