I hope it's priced as a loss leader like regular consoles. One of the biggest appeals of the deck is how cheap it is. If they can do the same for this I think it will move units.
Also, if devs start optimising towards the cube like they've done for the deck it will be good for g*mers everywhere
They already said they're not doing that. Especially since a corporation could just buy 10k and use them as desktops.
That makes sense. Even though the deck was a full blown PC on the inside its form factor meant you couldn't really use it as a regular workstation. These things are regular PCs and if people don't use them for gaming thenValve doesn't get that extra cut. The tradeoff for making such an open system
