I mean, look at the comment section of the Announcement Video:

People go apeshit on #Valve being able to "#ReadTheRoom":

  • 'You own that hardware!'
  • no mention of "#AI"
  • no mention of #Subscriptions
  • no mention of other bullshit
  • 'Play as YOU want!'
  • 'It just works!'

Tho I guess people will be disappointed the "#GabeCube" aka. #SteamMachine (2nd Gen) won't be a $499 box and neither will the #SteamFrame aka. "#VirtualGabe" and even the #SteamController aka. "#WaveGabe" will be over $99 simply because #Valve ain't gonna have the money to preorder like 10M before #launch, and also "AI" is driving price hikes for #RAM and #Flash...
