It's AI, babe.
AI is not the reason Gabe doesn't want to subsidize hardware as others do with their consoles. Buying mansions and yachts is.
The price is a shitty situation, though I wonder if it prevents equally shitty companies buying them all up for cheap, generic compute, like we saw with the pi5 during the pandemic.
That doesn't excuse the mansion and excessive yacht buying, of course.
