A lot of the respondents to this post just don't get it. At a certain point the computer is not the ends, it is a means. Consoles provide a computer that, relatively, easily plays games. No tinkering or fussing required.

The reason we had to start off with step 1 was that it was all I could afford to do with what I made from PayPal. I thought our chances of success were so low that I didn't want to risk anyone's funds in the beginning but my own. The list of successful car company startups is short. As of 2016, the number of American car companies that haven't gone bankrupt is a grand total of two: Ford and Tesla. Starting a car company is idiotic and an electric car company is idiocy squared....
