    If you already have a PC you probably have no real reason to get one as you can already upgrade your existing PC for less (or more power) by reusing some parts. I suspect this is more for people that are looking to get into PC gaming or are currently using laptops.

    Also, its just a PC. Loads of companies make PCs. I worked in one before, we had a staff count of 2 and the PC building was part time. Obviously valve have greater R&D funds than we did so they can afford to make their own custom form factor.

    It kinda is though, people who buy holiday homes are directly responsible for pushing up the price to the point that local people can no longer afford to live there. Then they don’t even live in those holiday homes so the local economy is fucked. Why hire any workers for 9 months of the year when your customers are only there for 3 months of the year?

    Tourists may benefit some local business owners (or chains) while having a negative impact on many others.

    Take a small fishing or farming village for example, now it becomes popular with tourists. House prices shoot up to what Londoners can afford and as they only use it as a holiday home it becomes a ghost town in winter.
