Valve Played You Again

Valve’s new Steam Machine is not just expensive. That is the boring part. The real problem is that this thing looks like a loyalty box built for the people who will defend anything with a Valve logo on it. Big tech reviewers can call it niche. They can call it “a challenging price point.” They can blame RAM prices, small form factor, open ecosystems, and pretend this is some brave future of living-room PC gaming. But let’s be honest. A $1,428 Steam Machine with a controller is not some magical revolution. It is Valve testing how much money they can squeeze out of their most loyal fanbase before those fans stop smiling. In this video, I break down why comparing the Steam Machine to the PS5 Pro is completely fair, why the “consoles are sold at a loss” excuse is false, what obvious things are other reviewers missing, and for who did Valve create the Steam Machine. And the fanboys will still defend it for free. #valve #steammachine #gaming
