That’s the implication, but saying it doesn’t make it true. It’s up to you to decide if it’s a valid point.

I thought so too, but the most likely scenarios is this: It’s not that people who wants Steam machine will do it. It’s that people who want PC’s will buy out super cheap subsidized PCs. Gamer’s won’t benefit from this.
