I wonder how far they're willing to push the "its just a PC" rhetoric - they might consider releasing a chassis only enthusiast version without RAM and SSD etc. Similar to how Framework has their DIY edition and configurator.

I'm wondering if Gaben could buy a semiconductor foundry and start producing RAM.

Thats a software vendors wet dream - owning the store where people buy your software all the way down to owning the fabs that produce hardware required to play those games.
