Are you ready for a $1,000 Steam Machine? Some analysts think you should be. (arstechnica.com)

The title is a bit misleading, as the article lists diverging analysts’ opinions, ranging from Valve willing to sell at a loss or low margins, to high prices due to RAM and SSD price volatility.

Valve being a private company means that they can be even better at playing the long game. The end prize is a platform like Android or iOS so definitely worth it. Valve isn’t exactly a paragon of ethics, they profit heavily from gambling and know perfectly fine with their online casinos serving children. At least Goop targets middle aged women because it’s likely I’m having a conversation with a teenager who now vehemently defeats a multi-billion dollar business.

I wasn't referring to Goop the company, I was referring to this: https://decibelics.com/klon-guide/

The creator of the pedal covered the circuitboard in some type of tar or something to prevent people from copying the circuit (it's pretty trivial to do with analog guitar pedals).

Anyway, I can see that you have no interest in considering that you might be wrong here... If you haven't messed with a Steam Deck, I suggest you check it out. Because it's literally just a Linux PC in a handheld form factor. You can avoid Steam altogether on it if you want.

Lol, for someone who’s been proven to be factually wrong and talking out of ass multiple times already in this single thread you seem incredibly confident that I’m wrong.

You have yet to add a single bit of value to this exchange. Hope you have a good weekend.
