I remember playing this on a Radeon 9550 GPU with 128 MB VRAM and being amazed at how well it was running at 1680x1050.

Have you seen how metal keycaps are priced?

Looks like a knockoff to me. Look at the "Backspace" lettering up close for example.

I wrote "could easily cost 10 times more", which doesn't exclude an even higher price. $100-$150 for just the case (I couldn't find the exact one) is what I'd expect.

While I'm not saying it's perfect, I still think it's aeons better than Skype was shortly after its acquisition by Microsoft.

I was even thinking just about the case - good CNCd aluminium has come down in price, but it's still expensive. You also have a point, I agree.

Ironically enough, talking about cutting expenses, the keyboard in the photo could easily cost 10 times more than the typical 100% keyboard you'd find in a corporate office.

Probably depends on whether they see a difference between intentional and unintentional satire.

I don't really mind. The only high bandwidth thing I use on my work laptop is the USB-C for my displays. If I ever plug something into the rest of the ports, it would be a mouse/keyboard/headset and none of those require anything more than USB 2.0.

Unfortunately "punish them by not buying it" won't work for someone as big as them.

I'm saying that the sources of income are the same regardless of what the company structure or the software licence is.
