Who else is buying a PC designed for gaming for non gaming stuff? What other industry is this an optimal build and design for? The last steam machine didn’t sell outside of its intended audience. Why would this one?

    Because the steam deck wasn't a loss leader either? It is still a pc that could be used for anything. What makes it optimised for gaming after removing SteamOS? Maybe cec and what else? Pc can be used as a workstation anywhere.

    If they sell the hardware at a loss, then miners or AI companies would 100% have reason to pick them up to plug into their farms since they would be cheaper than other market alternatives.

    The last steam machines were 3rd party and not sold at a loss.
