Credit where credit’s due, Valve did that for the Steam Deck’s entry pricing. Although the danger for the Steam Machine would be potential abuse for massive orders (at Valve’s expense) for things like call centers and offices rather than individuals.
People keep saying this, but Valve could easily prevent companies buying up Steam Machines simply by limiting purchases to a X amount per account. If they are worried about people creating burner accounts just to purchase Steam hardware, they could require the accounts to be a certain age or a minimum amount spent on Steam. Not saying they will or should do this, but they could.
That’s a really interesting idea to give preference to existing steam users with a legitimate history.
Not even that. Since it’s just a PC, regular consumers can buy them without ever using Steam.
That’s actually the same case with the Steam Deck, apart from the hardware form factor.
Sure, but the hardware form factor is a big reason why it doesn’t happen on a large scale with the steam deck
