Now that you mention it, I call my parents Mom and Dad (unless they really need to listen), but my kids call me by my first name. I just thought it was a generational thing, who cares.
Now that you mention it, my phone is by far the most reliable alarm clock I've ever had. It does DST switches for me. The battery recharges itself. I just never noticed because phones sucked at first.
This is my main reason. Valve has a good reputation. If I buy a game and it doesn't work, then I can complain and will probably get my money back. I know developers will target my platform specifically.
I only want to troubleshoot if the whole thing is open source and I really can fix it myself. Other people pay me to figure out problems in proprietary software. This will be Valve's computer in my home, not my computer.
I'd imagine all the unwritten rules, injustice inherent to the system, and subtle social cues might be infuriating.
