  NZXT has this now. And why people went ballistic on them last year. You pretty much “rent” a PC but the price comes out to be nearly triple what you’d pay for a premium PC over the course of a few years.

    Thats really weird. I guess you can sell anything to people who are afraid of owning something, by just telling them service is included or something.

      That scam works well for AWS. My last company was a very small software dev (120 people) and spent $6M a year on AWS. Can you imagine the infra you could build with that much money!? And still have plenty left over to pay a small team to be responsible for it.

        Yeah I know. I also worked for a small company and they spent a fortune on aws, mainly just for virtual machines and network traffic between regions.

        None of my colleagues ever run anything on aws themselves, since its extreamly overpriced.

      Yeah the flak was justified though. They had all these rules like it couldn’t be"used" in any way, so people weren’t able to upgrade as often as they promised. I believe Gamer Nexus did a video about it.
