      not much to abuse

      Then I’m misunderstanding this part. The PS3 compute cluster incident commented below is what came to mind.

      But in the current climate I image that if the Steam machine was heavily subsidized that there would be a subset of people abusing that by doing something like purchasing, harvesting, and immediately reselling its parts.

        You mean the thing that was amazing advertisement for the computing power of the PS3 over the Xbox360? Yeah, Sony suffered so much from the abuse.
