I highly doubt that people will care for this for a few reasons. 1 it is running linux over Windows. Bad move number 1. You just marked yourself off over 100s of millions of buyers. But that's ok, we are basing it around steam. The problem with that is a lot of PC gamers build there own PCs rather than buy a PC built already. That lost them another big piece of the market. Then you have developers who we dont even know if they will be keen on developing for linux. There goes another chunk of the market. How will they be able to market this product to people when they are already set with what they have. VERY LITTLE AMOUNT of people buy PCs only for gaming. i built a gaming PC but I also use it for other things which is why windows comes in handy. Hopefully they didnt invest too much in this though. |
1. They don't need windows.
2. Not really an argument about how they lost customers there.
3. They don't need devs to develop for linux, linux is just an OS that can be tailored to play games the way windows plays them.
4. Not a lot of people buy PCs only for gaming, that is true, but very many buy 400$ video cards, and a somewhat equivalent 300$ steambox will be a great alternative.
