  They might sell it near cost

  Zero chance.

    I mean, near cost still wouldn’t be a good price, but there’s not a lot of advantage to sell it at a high price for them. Much less reason for anyone to buy into their VR ecosystem rather than Meta’s.

  The only practical way right now is through steam. Open source community will change that in a hurry

    They did with the Steam Deck too. I don’t think Valve is worried about super-technical people. It’s if it’s easy enough for the everyday user to use it without Steam. The Machine is super easy to use without Steam, and it’s useful as a computer. A cluster of Frames wouldn’t be very useful.

    At least that’s my take on it.
