Because since it’s unlocked hardware, corporations would buy them all as workstations, and they’d never buy any games. At the end of the day, corporations ruin everything.
Lets waste so much manpower, hours of labor, years of development and vice versa so that we can potentially taint the goodwill of fans by taking loss after loss and relying on them buying games they’ll never play on Steam.
They should just sell at a loss the steam games bought will make up for it. Every consol does that, why not this mini pc.

That’s just waiting corporate and other entity buying powerful PC for cheap. And Valve won’t get any game sales from it.
Just like PS3 being used as supercomputer.
That doesn’t make any sense to me.

Consoles are a bit more careful than this.
Every console does that and it’s kinda anti-competitive behavior isn’t it?
Definitely makes it harder for new companies to release enticing hardware, so i’d say so…
