Sure, but the vast majority of people aren’t going to do that. I don’t think it makes sense to say they can’t do it because 5% of buyers may act in a certain way.

I agree that all these companies are super greedy, the point was that even though they’re greedy they still sell at a loss on the hardware as it ends up making them even more money.

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.
