“I can’t tell you what the price will be, because I literally don’t know,” he said on the November 15 episode of the WAN show.

If you ever worked at a company before, you’d know that’s an insane belief
Maybe a startup would do it. If they did development of smaller shit like apps or simple web dev. But yeah no, no business would do this because businesses need support deals.
After cutting the price to reach greater audience (originally too expensive) Sony had to remove Linux support from Playstation 3 because companies where amassing lot of those things to set up some sort of DIY supercomputers.
I’ve worked at a dozen companies before and don’t find it insane at all. Would you care to elaborate?
Are you aware of the time the Air Force built a supercomputer out of PS3s?
