Also going off of the market trends of Google and Apple always making a new model with planned obsolescence with the old one and locking features due to the inability to update.

So one of the biggest gaming companies on the market right now (Steam) is making model one. When will model two be released and will you have to pay annually for it? Will there be planned obsolescence?

We don't know? We're ½ and ½ putting faith into an open source software with gaming hardware in a pc sold by Steam.....

That's a fuckin' leap of faith.
