Bless your heart.

If their budget is tight enough yeah a Linux build-your-own is likely the cheapest way to go. It probably won’t be able to play high end games without getting close to the steam price point but you can go much cheaper and still play the majority of steam games.

I’m a data analyst by trade so rhetoric like that can fuck right off. You want to talk about loot box mechanics? Sure. But bullshit scare mongering descriptions like that have no place in reasonable discourse.

Shit I’ll take that as a reason too and gladly back them for it.

Indeed it is, and at some point I found myself too lazy to start switching off my fedinsfw alt, so here I am =-)

Hmm, wrestling porn as in actual wresters who have done porn, or role playing where a woman is fighting a man and pins him and then has his way with them? Because… I would like to find that second one myself…

Sure, but they’re one of the only companies proving that consumerism doesn’t mean you have to be a complete asshole of a company. They make money, people get the product they want at a price point they are satisfied with.

Honestly that makes me like Steam even more. Any company that is willing to put up that much money to serve a niche market earns my respect. Sure they’re doing it for the simple reason of Steam machine owners being guaranteed Steam gaming customers but it’s still serving a subset of their customers like few companies do these days.

I imagine most of the more tech savvy people on Lemmy would scoff at this and say “Might as well build a PC” (me included, which I already did), but this is aimed at the consumers who do not have that skill set and are willing to pay that price point for a Steam gaming system /shrug

Damn, I read that article describing the fingerprinting a week ago I think it was. That is some damn good turnaround from one of the few companies I still love.
